EVALUATION
Fourteen Fields uses a variety of evaluation methods to help governments and NGOs determine the impact and outcomes of the policies, programs and projects they implement. It is through rigorous and ongoing evaluation that a program or policy can adapt and grow to better serve its stakeholders. We offer several evaluation services: framework design, project logic models, theories of change, the creation of data collection and analysis processes, social return on investment (SROI), feasibility studies, gap analysis, grant reporting, report writing and recommendation development.
GRANT
WRITING
Government and private grants provide the financial resources that are crucial to the implementation of programs and projects. Whether it's needed for pilot funding or ongoing support, grants promote the development of community-based initiatives that create positive changes in society. The experienced grant writers at Fourteen Fields have secured millions of dollars in grants for various Canadian organizations
Pre-sentencing and bail hearing reports written specifically for Indigenous offenders under Section 718.2(e) of the Criminal Code, also known as Gladue Reports, provide judges with background information on the social factors inherent to the individual that should be examined when considering sentencing options. Gladue factors include effects of the Residential School system, family history of mental health and/or addictions issues, contact with the child welfare system, effects of the dispossession and/or dislocation of Indigenous people, and other factors.
