Build stronger data-driven learning practices with
The Better Results Toolkit

With support from the S. D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation, LFA developed the Better Results Toolkit in partnership with a set of San Francisco Bay Area environmental education organizations that participated in a three-year capacity-building initiative called LEAPS (Leadership and Evaluation for Program Success). The toolkit guides organizations through the process of putting strong data-driven learning practices in place.

Who We Are

We partner with social sector organizations to strengthen their learning culture and practice in service of equity and justice. 

Learning for Action supports individuals and organizations working on systemic, structural, and policy changes that address the underlying root causes of inequities so that all members of our communities have access to the opportunities they deserve for productive, healthy, and meaningful lives.


What We Do

We provide consulting services to social sector organizations
so that they may effectively design, implement, assess,
and improve strategies to achieve impact.  

LFA has a rare combination of high-quality analytical skills and a deep knowledge and appreciation for the work of community-based organizations.

[We] work with LFA as we strive to help promising nonprofits enhance their ability to collect, use, and apply data for ongoing learning and improvement. As a result, our grantees are now able to deliver even stronger results for disadvantaged youth.
