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
Building Infrastructure
Whether your team is planning a garden project in your backyard or working to creating affordable housing across your city, design is at the heart of changing communities. Your communities deserve your organization’s best, great design gets you there.
Here are some examples of the tools and processes that we implement with each of our :

Memorandums of Understanding: The necessary components for NGOs
