Program Design

Our communities deserve meticulously designed programs and interventions that generate change. It’s not enough to simply “help” people.

Our team has over a decade of program design experience in nonprofit and government settings. We work with leadership and program staff to build and execute a vision grounded in relevant research and current sector best practices. Ivanhoe Development staff add capacity and expertise via co-creation of program design, customized program management documents, and assistance managing timelines and staffing models.
 
A few examples of our work include:

  • Regional homelessness street-outreach

  • Watershed and wildlife education for rural communities

  • Culturally-relevant behavioral health program for low-income communities

  • Early Childhood Education in partnership with secondary education institutions

  • Small business development for asylum-seekers 

  • Outdoor sensory-Friendly activity spaces

  • Elder Abuse prevention and education across a tri-state area

  2. Data Transparency in Partnerships: How to ensure ethical data practices to protect your communities

  3. Memorandums of Understanding: The necessary components for NGOs

  4. Partnership Readiness and Capacity-Building: Not all partners are created equal; ensure yours are not extractive or performative when designing solutions
