Impact Reports Are Easy to Produce. Evidence Is Not.
Most funders rely on performance data created by the same organizations responsible for results. APA embeds independent data systems and personnel within active grant programs, ensuring reported outcomes reflect what actually occurred.
Three Ways to Engage
All engagements are scoped at the time of award. APA is engaged by the funding agency as opposed to the grantee.
Portfolio Data Assurance
Full Presence — APA assigns dedicated specialists who serve as standing members of your grant team across the full lifecycle. They attend grantee workshops, convenings, and check-in calls. APA builds and maintains the data collection infrastructure, updates it as grantee needs evolve, and ensures every data point submitted to your agency is accurate and independently verified.
Ideal for: Foundations and agencies managing multiple concurrent grantees who need a defensible, auditable data record at closeout.
Grant award: $500,000+

Active Oversight — APA builds the infrastructure, embeds personnel, and owns data accuracy across the grant lifecycle.
Ideal for: Single or small cohort grants where the funder needs independent data verification without a large portfolio management structure.
Grant award: $150,000–$500,000
Schedule a CallGrant Data Foundation
Launch & Verify — APA helps launch and verify your data infrastructure from the start. Includes upfront data system design, embedded data collection support, and final verified reporting delivered to the agency.
Ideal for: Agencies piloting third-party data verification for the first time or managing a single smaller award.
Grant award: $100,000–$150,000
