Case Study
NeighborWorks® America

Project Type

  • Grove Storymapping™
  • Meeting Facilitation

Key Tools

  • Graphic Guides®

We led a three-month process in which NeighborWorks America created a visual representation of the complex world of community-development evaluation. The finished map became a key resource for funders, practioners, evaluators, researchers, and others in the community-development field. The Grove Storymap™ and narrative were downloaded forty-six thousand times in the first three months.

In a single day-long meeting, a diverse group of leaders in the community-development field convened. We created a framework for the local and national initiatives and—in succeeding months—our designers worked with NeighborWorks to create and refine the finished Storymap.

The Outcome: The Storymap was downloaded 46,000 times.
