Transform Insight into Impact

We deliver rigorous, systems-focused research that empowers nonprofits, community organizations, and public sector agencies to make informed, strategic decisions that create lasting change.

At Kohli+Associates, we provide nonprofit research consulting that goes beyond reports—we use our academic backgrounds to clarify drivers of social need and our systems thinking approach to turn data into high-impact action. Our PhD-led team, recognized globally for historical research and systemic analysis, has delivered research projects in over a dozen countries.

We help organizations:

  • Uncover trends and gaps in their field to improve service and mission alignment with community needs

  • Evaluate programs and partnerships for impact and improvement planning

  • Translate social research into strategy for greater impact

  • Strengthen funding proposals and advocacy with compelling, evidence-based narratives

With every project, we deliver research that informs better decisions, stronger strategies, and measurable results.
