The Aya Foundation

Our Work:
Data systems and evaluation design, theory of change, evaluation planning, interactive dashboards, impact report, entrepreneur support, community wealth building, capacity building

Corona Insights was engaged by The Aya Foundation, Colorado’s only Black-led foundation focused on dismantling the state’s racial wealth gap, to help Aya create data management systems and impact-measuring processes that the organization can use on its own in future years. We also defined Aya’s theory of change, created a measurement plan outlining strategies for collecting information on Aya’s grantees and program participants, and designed several new data collection tools and processes. Then we helped Aya implement those processes, analyze the resulting data, and publish the organization’s first annual Impact Report, showcasing their efforts to provide Black entrepreneurs with the essential tools and networks needed for prosperity. Aya has since engaged us to help the organization create its grantmaking evaluation strategy and support its ongoing evaluation practices.
