Program Evaluation Services in Jacksonville, FL
Evaluation for Local Government, Nonprofit & Education Programs
Measure Program Effectiveness With Data-Driven Evaluation
A program can run smoothly and still fail an evaluation because running isn't the same as working. RAC evaluates Jacksonville programs against their actual goals, whether that program sits inside city government, a nonprofit, or a school system.
Program Evaluation for Local & State Government
Jacksonville's consolidated city-county government runs a wide range of publicly funded initiatives, and RAC's federal and state contract work covers the evaluation design, data collection, and reporting that go with government-run programs. The same applies to the veteran and military-connected services this city is known for: where a program answers to a funder's reporting requirements, RAC builds the evaluation around what that funder has actually asked to see rather than a generic report template.
Nonprofit & Education Program Evaluation
For nonprofit programs that carry a mandated data report as a condition of their funding, RAC has spent over 20 years working through the full cycle of program planning and evaluation. School and district initiatives raise a related but distinct question: whether an initiative is measurably helping students, and RAC's team has more than 10 years of experience as an accreditation site visitor, working directly with staff across a school system to collect the data an administration needs.
Evaluation Methods We Apply
Formative evaluation tracks a program while it's still running, so adjustments happen before a funding cycle ends. Summative evaluation weighs the final outcome against original goals, and needs assessments or cost-benefit analysis get added when a funder wants the case for impact and the case for spending addressed together.
A Multidisciplinary Team
Behind every RAC evaluation is a team with backgrounds in statistics, psychometrics, psychology, and software engineering, including multiple PhDs and a lifetime member of the American Statistical Association.
That range, backed by more than 20 years of research and evaluation consulting experience, means a Jacksonville program gets one consulting relationship rather than several vendors, guided throughout by a five-step equity framework for inclusive planning, measurement, analysis, and interpretation.
Getting Started
Every RAC engagement opens with a free consultation covering your program, your funder's requirements, and your timeline before any cost estimate is built. RAC then coordinates data collection and evaluation work to match the needs, scope, and location of your program.
Serving Jacksonville & Northeast Florida
Between its consolidated government, sizable veteran and military-connected community, and school district initiatives, Jacksonville carries grant-tied reporting obligations across a wide range of sectors. RAC already serves organizations across Florida and brings that same rigor to Jacksonville and Northeast Florida programs.
