What We Do
Our work is organized around four interconnected pillars — each designed to put research, evaluation, and strategy in the hands of communities.
WeClaim Research offers a suite of consulting services grounded in community-based participatory methods. Whether you need rigorous evaluation, capacity building, or strategic guidance, our pillars are designed to meet communities where they are and move them toward where they want to be.
Knowledge built with communities, not about them.
We design and facilitate research processes that center community members as co-investigators. From study design to data collection to analysis, we ensure the people most affected by an issue have a meaningful role in generating knowledge about it.
Measuring what matters to the people it matters to.
We design and conduct evaluations that go beyond compliance to generate genuine learning. Our evaluations are culturally responsive, equity-centered, and built to produce findings that communities can actually use to improve programs and advocate for resources.
Leaving communities stronger than we found them.
We train and coach community organizations, nonprofits, and grassroots groups to conduct their own research and evaluation. Our goal is always to build lasting internal capacity — so communities don't need to rely on outside experts to understand and tell their own story.
Turning data into direction.
We help organizations and coalitions translate research findings into actionable strategy. From policy advocacy to program redesign, we work alongside leaders to make sense of what the data says and chart a clear path forward — grounded in evidence and community voice.
Our process
We begin every engagement by listening deeply — to community priorities, organizational context, and the questions that matter most.
We design research and evaluation approaches collaboratively, ensuring methods are culturally appropriate and community-driven.
We conduct rigorous inquiry alongside communities — not as outside experts, but as partners accountable to shared goals.
We translate findings into accessible formats and support communities in using knowledge to drive real change.
