In 2020, MDC and Clifford Consulting partnered with Fernside Center for Grieving Children on a capacity building evaluation aimed at optimizing the organization’s programming and evaluation abilities. This thirteen-month project involved extensive research into best practices and refinement of Fernside’s Theory of Change.
Lead strategists facilitated a collaborative process, culminating in fourteen actionable recommendations categorized under four strategic pillars. These recommendations provide a roadmap for Fernside to continue its mission of offering free and unlimited grief support to grieving children and families throughout the Greater Cincinnati Tri-State area.
Our sincere thanks go out to Clifford Consulting: Pat Clifford, MSSA; LSW, Deepika Andavarapu, AICP, PhD; and Mary Clare Rietz, MFA for inviting us to join this project.
