IMPACT EVALUATION FOR GROWING NONPROFITS
Only 28% of nonprofit leaders are confident in their ability to communicate impact.*
Know your impact. Win bigger gifts.
Get clear on what your work changes, so you walk into every big ask with the evidence and stories funders say yes to.
*Sowen’s 2025 State of Social Impact Report
Clearly understand your org’s impact (not just outputs).
Getting super clear about the impact of your organization, gathering the data, and sharing how it makes a difference through the eyes of your constituents gives you the power to connect people directly with the need their funding will help.
Show the depth AND breadth of this work.
When sharing impact, organizations need to show not just testimonials but the scale of their work. This means sharing powerful individual stories backed up by relevant data. Shifts in understanding, belonging, or power are vital to improving people’s lives and can be measured for use in your grants, development conversations, and communication.

I’m Emily Taylor.
I help nonprofits evaluate their impact so that it’s clear and consistently shared by teams with confidence.
Using a human-centered research and evaluation approach, I work with organizations to move beyond vague storytelling and surface the real outcomes behind their work. By combining data, community voice, and strategic narrative, I help nonprofits show not just what they do — but why their approach works and why funders should invest.
My background in consumer research, nonprofit leadership, and qualitative evaluation allows me to bring both meaning and empathy to this process. Whether I’m interviewing community members, staff, or stakeholders, my goal is the same: to uncover the proof of impact that too often gets buried in reports, spreadsheets, and internal language and turn it into stories that drive understanding, trust, and funding.
At the core of my work is a simple belief: when people can clearly see change, they are far more likely to support it.
“Two years later, we are still referencing what we learned about engaging our audience from teenyBIG’s work. It’s given us a deeper understanding of them, more so than we’ve ever gotten from surveys and focus groups.”
— Head of Knowledge Management, The Morton Arboretum
Tell your full impact story
Impact reports need to do more than just provide numbers or anecdotes, you need to weave the patterns and meaningful change in a way that makes sense to those who can support your future growth. That’s what I bring to our work!
