A sample of our community needs assessments is provided below. Projects have included identifying community health needs among women, children and communities of color and changes in HIV/AIDS cases nationwide. We have identified capacity-building needs among LGBTQ foundations and developed evaluation capacity among organizations’ staff members. Korwin Consulting has conducted market research to support expanded programming to institutionalized populations as well as facilitated strategic planning efforts to increase school-readiness among young children. We have trained surveyors to conduct a large countywide survey of homeless individuals and developed client information systems to capture key program data.

San Jose Family/Domestic Violence Advisory Board

 

The City of San Jose’s Family/Domestic Violence Advisory Board works to inform and educate policymakers and the public about the impact of domestic and intimate partner violence on the well-being of the community; and raises awareness through activities, forums, and public service campaigns to educate and encourage community-wide participation in preventing and reducing violence in community members’ lives.

Korwin Consulting is strengthening the Advisory Board’s capacity to use data for collaborative planning, and to identify and strength system-level responses to domestic violence. Through development of a resource inventory, outcome-based planning, and evaluation design, Korwin Consulting is positioning the Advisory Board to better meet its mission.

Bread & Roses

Bread & Roses brings free, live, quality entertainment to people confined in institutions or isolated from society. Interested in reaching more adults and children throughout the Bay Area, B&R contracted with Korwin Consulting to conduct a market analysis.

Korwin Consulting analyzed B&R’s current portfolio and identified prospective organizations throughout the Bay Area. Through a combination of surveys, key informant interviews, and an analysis of data available on current organizations, we provided B&R with information that will enable them to implement strategic growth in the upcoming years.

The California Wellness Foundation

 

In implementing its Women’s Health priority area, TCWF seeks to define the universe of women’s health clinics in California, and to better understand the complex factors that affect them.

Working in association with Schacht & Associates, Korwin Consulting conducted key informant interviews and a web-based literature review, and identified women’s clinics throughout California. Findings from the study will be used to better target foundation resources, and to inform decisions regarding funding and technical assistance to these clinics.

Southwest Community Health Center

 

 

The Southwest Community Health Center (SCHC), a community-based primary health care provider, receives more requests for health care services than they can provide. And the demand keeps growing. SCHC contracted with Korwin Consulting to see whether and how they might expand to best meet this growing need.

Through a combination of demographic data and service utilization research, key informant interviews and community resident surveys, Korwin Consulting provided SCHC with information upon which to consider their expansion plans.
