Program Design and Implementation

Creating enduring impact starts with programs that are designed for results and built to adapt. We help clients align program goals with community needs, regulatory requirements, and real-world constraints, then support implementation every step of the way.

Our Approach

We work with clients to design and implement programs that meet the moment—responsive to community needs, grounded in evidence, and built for impact. From aligning funding streams for stacked incentives programs, to piloting user-centered strategies and measuring what matters, our team helps clients move from design to delivery. With a focus on performance, equity, and accountability, we support partners in building programs that adapt, endure, and drive meaningful change.

Stacked Incentives

Public agencies often face similar pressures, tight budgets, looming compliance deadlines, and increasing environmental demands, but too often, they operate in silos. We help agencies break down those barriers and extend their impact through stacked incentive programs that combine funding streams to drive voluntary, multi-benefit actions. By aligning investments across agencies and providing targeted outreach to customers, we motivate private property owners to initiate projects that advance water quality, water savings, and stormwater management. The result is smarter investments, stronger partnerships, and measurable impact at scale.

Performance Based Contracting & Pay for Performance

Building resilient communities and ecosystems requires working together to achieve desired outcomes. We implement a pay-for-performance approach, an innovative contracting method that unites public and private sector actors and shifts the focus from completing project steps to achieving measurable results. By linking payments to the delivery of quantifiable environmental and community outcomes, pay-for-performance inspires private-sector innovation to find and implement solutions that work.

Program Implementation Support

The most effective programs start with user-centered design. We equip our clients with user-centered approaches to align solutions with participant needs and support program implementation through pilot phases to test assumptions, refine processes, and adapt strategies accordingly. With a solid understanding of how to assess program performance, we assist partners in confidently scaling programs with support from partners, regulators, and participants.
