Women Achieving Greater Economic Security Learning and Evaluation

Omni was the evaluation and learning partner to the Women’s Foundation of Colorado (WFCO) for their strategic grantmaking initiative, Women Achieving Greater Economic Security (WAGES). Through WAGES, 23 diverse direct service and policy organizations came together to share and innovate strategies, foster new collaborations, and inform the larger field of those interested in improving economic opportunities for women and their families.

Omni co-created an evaluation framework with WFCO and grantees that centered equity in the evaluative questions that were asked, trainings that were offered as part of the cohort learning communities, and ways in which community members were invited to the conversation to give voice. Our approach prioritized alignment with WFCO's values and goals and met various groups' desires for what they wanted to learn from the evaluation while minimizing the evaluation reporting burden on grantees. The mixed-method evaluation provided an understanding of the quantitative impact of the funding and the personal narrative and stories of those impacted by the funding.
