Inform your practice. Inform your decisions.
Inform Evaluation & Research specializes in program evaluation, visitor studies, and educational research for STEM and conservation education institutions. We help organizations measure results, articulate impact, and ultimately improve their practice.
What We Do
From multi-year evaluation and research studies to evaluation capacity building and training, we bring a rigorous, thoughtful and fun approach to all of our work.
Who We Are
Our small--but mighty!--team brings years of experience and a range of expertise in evaluation and research methods, communication, and training.
Who We Work With
Our clients include large and small nonprofits, government agencies, and formal education institutions. The common thread through all of our work is a focus on science and the environment.
Why work with us?
Our experience as evaluators and practitioners sets us apart. We have run evaluation departments at large learning institutions and worked with numerous organizations as consultants. But we aren’t just evaluators. Our team also brings years of experience as education practitioners — and we bring this understanding to every project.
“More than consultants, Inform are our partners and sounding board when it comes to any evaluation project we wish to conduct. They are supremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, and care just as much for our organization as we do.”
— Melissa Wong, Senior Director, Conservation Education, Houston Zoo
Our Philosophy
Relationships are the key to success! We treat our clients as partners in the evaluation process. We have been in your shoes and understand the challenges of juggling the day-to-day demands of this work. We want to help, not hinder, your efforts to meet your goals.
“Inform brought an enthusiasm for building an evaluation culture that quickly spread through our whole organization. Through their trainings and coaching sessions, I’ve seen our whole team go from trepidation about the entire process to feeling empowered and excited to answer questions that help us drive our mission forward.”
— Anna George, Vice President of Conservation Science and Education, Tennessee Aquarium
