You’ll know which programs are moving the needle on students’ test scores, attendance, and other important outcomes.
As a non-profit leader, you’re dedicated to making a real difference
for students, but proving that impact can be a constant battle.
You need to fight for decreasing funding opportunities by proving your impact to secure grants and attract donors.
Traditional program evaluations are often too expensive and resource-intensive, diverting precious funds from your core mission.
You need objective, third-party validation to strengthen your relationships with partner school districts and enhance your credibility with funders.
It's challenging to consistently showcase your program's effectiveness to all stakeholders without clear, unbiased data.
Parsimony’s services are used by nonprofits like:
Traditional educational impact evaluations require several meetings with multiple staff members – just to plan. We give you your Snapshot Report with no meetings.
Traditional evaluations often come with the risk of project failure due to a lack of school district participation. Our Snapshot Reports eliminate this risk by leveraging our pre-existing data partnerships, guaranteeing you get the answers you need.
Our Snapshot Report leverages existing data to give you clear insights into program effectiveness without the typical wait time of a full evaluation.
Get access to our client portal, where you can order a Snapshot Report at any time.
You tell us which students were served by your program and when, and we do the rest.
We’ll update you as we work on your Snapshot Report. Asking you questions only when necessary.

I’ve been partnering with Parsimony on evaluation projects for a number of years and I find their contribution to my work invaluable. They understand context, offer deep insights and thoughtful analyses, and deliver a high-quality end product so I can focus on other aspects of my business. What’s more, they’re extremely organized and efficient, get things done on time, and are a pleasure to work with!
