What We Do

Mission Statement:

To inspire, empower and engage organizations and individuals to achieve economic and environmental sustainability.

The Institute for Evaluation and Research, LLC (TIER) is a multifaceted business offering multiple products and services. Our services are focused on professional consulting related to program development, grant writing, evaluation, development of competitive government proposals, program monitoring, and quantitative and qualitative research. With years of success in consultation, TIER Institute is expanding with distinct subsidiaries with distinct outcomes.


“I have worked with TIER leadership for more than 20 years in a variety of capacities. I have found them to be invariably professional and ethical. They are organized, knowledgeable, and flexible. The creativity and out-of-the-box thinking are most impressive and have been the source of establishment of numerous programs ranging from obesity prevention to mentoring. The leadership is smart and insightful and I find their moral compass to be reassuring and refreshing.”

— Kathy Jenkins, AOK Services

  • Program Evaluation– Through decades of experience in program development and evaluation, we are coaches, cheerleaders, and hand-holders not auditors. Our goal is to help you succeed. We assist with design, analysis, implementation, and reporting. We work closely you’re your community to assure that all programming is culturally-centered and is conducted “with” stakeholders not “to” them. Additionally, we assess fidelity, progress toward goals, research, data collection, and outcome measures. Moreover, we provide “lessons learned” to drive continuous improvement and program administration. 

  • Training and Professional Development – Offers organization development and effectiveness, talent development, strategic planning, performance improvement and process redesign, training for staff/clients, workforce development, curriculum design, change management, coaching, curriculum development, and instructional materials.
