Everstead offers thought partnership to help organizations demonstrate value.

Everstead Strategies was founded on a simple but powerful belief: that organizations do great work that create ripple effects in systems. These organizations, and the communities they serve, deserve to understand the magnitude and impact of those efforts. This starts with having the culture and capacity to weave organizational strategy, learning, and evaluation together to plan for the evidence you need before you need it.

After over two decades of working across various sectors, our founder Esther Nolton recognized a persistent gap. Evidence ecosystems are often fragmented. Organizations have data but struggle to organize and utilize them to produce actionable insights. Having a strong ecosystem is built on more than just heaps of data—it’s knowing what data are needed, how best to collect and manage it, and understanding when and how to use it.

Everstead Strategies was built to bridge that gap. Drawing on unique backgrounds and skills, Everstead functions as translator and facilitator helping organizations know and share the impact of their work to make the good they do even better. Everstead partners with executives and boards across sectors, helping them build sustainable learning and evaluation capacity, navigate complex policy questions, consider continuous improvement, and create evidence ecosystems that drive real impact.
