Design

FNF takes the time to create research methodology that aligns with peer-reviewed journal standards. We pride ourselves in the strong and irrefutable research methods used in our consulting work.

Collect

FNF believes that great research begins with solid data collection. We learn about your organization's needs before collecting a single data point so that we can ensure that we accurately and efficiently collect your data.

Analyze

Our clients come to us because they want to know if their organization is effective. FNF helps answer your questions by giving you clear analysis of the data through statistical best practices.

Communicate

Data interpretation relies on more than just numbers; it's also the story behind the numbers. FNF breaks down statistical analyses to the user-level by creating easy-to-digest deliverables to help you share outcomes with your stakeholders.

Build

Our services also include construction of easy-to-use data collection and management systems. Don't waste time with paper and pencil - FNF will create customized, digital data collection and analysis systems for you.

SUStain

FNF is dedicated to our relationships with our partners, even after the research is complete. FNF will make sure that you understand our research techniques so that you can continue evaluating your organization long after FNF leaves.
