Nous actively contributes to the work of not-for-profit and community organisations through our Community Partnership Scheme. Through this scheme, we deliver discounted and pro-bono consulting services to organisations that otherwise may not have access to such opportunities.

Over the last six years Nous has partnered with over 80 organisations through our Community Partnership Scheme to deliver influential projects. We are proud to have provided consulting services and advice to the value of approximately $4 million on more than 90 projects that aimed to deliver lasting positive change.

This year, Nous are seeking applications for consulting projects that build the capability of organisations to make evidence-based decisions to contribute to positive social, cultural, economic and/or environmental outcomes in Australia.

To this end, we are seeking application for the following types of projects:

1. Program evaluations that support organisations to rigorously and comprehensively measure and communicate the impact of social programs.
2. Strategic planning, review or strategy workshop facilitation that support organisations to understand their operating environment and develop, prioritise and implement strategies to deliver the best possible services to clients.
3. Data-driven projects that help organisations analyse relationships and patterns in their data, understand the impacts of different scenarios and inform decision making.
4. Other projects that help organisations to make evidence-based decisions that contribute to positive outcomes.

Applications for the 2018 round are open until 5pm on 22 November 2018. Find out more.
