Consulting Services for Nonprofits, Public Agencies, Businesses, and Community Organizations

3EO Solutions provides grant consulting, program evaluation, data analysis, public affairs, policy research, strategic communications, program design, and process improvement services. We work with nonprofits, local governments, public agencies, treatment courts, human-services programs, small businesses, and community organizations that need experienced help navigating complex requirements, public issues, or organizational change.

Our work draws on Shawnn Hartley’s experience in government programs, evaluation, grant administration, public policy, data analysis, communications, and nonprofit leadership, together with Alex McHaddad’s experience in municipal administration, legislative policy, public information, intergovernmental relations, elections, budgeting, and organizational management. This combination allows 3EO Solutions to understand an issue from analytical, operational, governmental, and public-facing perspectives.

Grant Strategy, Writing, and Management

A strong grant application must connect the community need, proposed activities, evidence, budget, staffing plan, and expected results. 3EO Solutions helps organizations assess grant readiness, identify suitable funding opportunities, develop competitive applications, and meet post-award requirements.

Services include:

• Federal, state, local, and foundation grant writing
• Grant research and opportunity assessment
• Funding-readiness reviews
• Application planning and project coordination
• Needs statements and supporting research
• Logic models, goals, objectives, and performance measures
• Grant budgets and budget narratives
• Application review and revision
• Grant reporting, compliance, and management support

We bring experience from both sides of the funding process, including grant development, award administration, program implementation, performance reporting, and evaluation.

Program Evaluation and Impact Measurement

Organizations need more than activity counts to understand whether a program is working. 3EO Solutions designs practical program evaluations that examine implementation, participant experience, service quality, outcomes, and opportunities for improvement.

Services include:

• Process, outcome, and program evaluation
• Evaluation plans and frameworks
• Logic model development
• Key performance indicator development
• Quantitative and qualitative research
• Survey and interview design
• Client, staff, and stakeholder feedback
• Data-collection plans and instruments
• Findings reports and actionable recommendations
• Funder and board reporting

Evaluation methods are matched to the program, available data, reporting requirements, organizational capacity, and decisions the findings need to support.

Data Analysis, Dashboards, and Reporting Systems

Many organizations collect substantial amounts of information but struggle to use it consistently. Data may be spread across spreadsheets, databases, forms, and narrative reports, making routine questions difficult to answer.

3EO Solutions helps clients determine what information matters, improve how it is collected, and turn it into clear reports and management tools.

Services include:

• Data inventory and reporting assessments
• Data cleaning, organization, and analysis
• Data-collection system design
• Performance dashboards
• Data visualization
• Excel-based reporting and operational tools
• Tableau and Power BI reporting
• Survey-data analysis
• Recurring performance reports
• Procedures and documentation for ongoing use

Our goal is to leave clients with reporting systems they understand and can maintain—not tools that become unusable when the consulting engagement ends.

Public Affairs, Policy Research, and Strategic Communications

Public decisions are shaped by more than facts alone. Organizations must understand the policy environment, communicate clearly with different audiences, respond to public concerns, and explain why an issue matters.

3EO Solutions helps public agencies, nonprofits, businesses, associations, and community organizations research public issues and communicate their positions with accuracy and credibility. Our combined experience in municipal government, legislative policy, public information, intergovernmental relations, organizational leadership, policy analysis, and public-facing communications allows us to connect technical details with the political and practical realities surrounding an issue.

Services include:

• Public policy and legislative research
• Policy briefs, issue papers, and background reports
• Public affairs strategy
• Stakeholder and audience analysis
• Public information materials
• Press releases and media statements
• Talking points, testimony, and presentation materials
• Community engagement and public meeting support
• Government and intergovernmental communications
• Coalition and partnership communications
• Survey research and public opinion analysis
• Crisis and issue-response planning
• Website, newsletter, and educational content
• Monitoring and summarizing legislation, regulations, and public proceedings

Our approach is grounded in clear facts, careful research, and direct language. We help clients explain complicated issues without stripping away important context or relying on vague messaging.

Program Design and Process Improvement

A promising idea still needs a workable structure. 3EO Solutions helps organizations define how a proposed or existing program should operate, who it will serve, what resources it requires, and how success will be measured.

Services include:

• New program and service design
• Program redesign and expansion planning
• Workflow and process mapping
• Policy and procedure development
• Service-delivery assessment
• Implementation planning
• Roles, responsibilities, and decision points
• Training and technical-assistance assessments
• Operational research and policy analysis
• Continuous quality improvement planning

We examine written requirements alongside day-to-day operations to identify gaps, unnecessary work, unclear responsibilities, and assumptions that may prevent a program from achieving its intended results.

A Practical Approach to Complex Work

Every engagement begins by clarifying the problem, the people and institutions involved, required decisions, available information, constraints, and definition of success. We then develop a focused scope of work with clear deliverables and regular communication.

Clients receive work grounded in evidence and designed for real operating conditions. Whether the immediate need is a federal grant application, program evaluation, public affairs strategy, policy brief, reporting dashboard, or implementation plan, 3EO Solutions provides the analysis, structure, and practical support needed to move the work forward.
