The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation

Evaluation and Strategy

Since 2016, OE Consulting has been working with the C.S. Mott Foundation’s Education and Civil Society Programs to create a universal evaluation framework, evaluate four major initiatives, and help create 10-year grant-making strategies.

Having created and implemented a universal evaluation framework for these Mott programs in 2016, OE then spent 2017 -18 working on client capacity building. Program directors and officers learned how to evaluate their own work using a stakeholder-centric, logic model approach. Many grantees are now reporting to the Foundation using the same framework.

 

In 2025, OE is working to complete 10-year summative reports that assess a decade of grantmaking across afterschool programs and children’s savings accounts. We are also creating strategic recommendations for the next decade of grant-making.
