The stakes were high—sustained funding, organizational structure, and community trust all depended on getting the evaluation and strategy right.
The Challenge
BRIC required a credible outcomes evaluation for the Ward 5 coalition to secure continued funding, while also needing strategic guidance on merging the Wards 7 and 8 coalitions into a more effective, unified structure.
