OUR TRACK RECORD

Summer has authored over 60 grants resulting in more than $50,000,000 in funding awarded to indigenous-serving organizations, to further their missions.

With over 20 years of experience in high quality, rigorous research methods, her evaluation projects have resulted in organizational policy change, higher levels of educational attainment and increased organizational capacity to make data-based decisions. Her approach to evaluation is guided by cultural sensitivity and incorporates aspects of an indigenous framework that require the evaluator to “step into the group being evaluated, learning about their life situations, experiences and their relationship with the environment” (Native Hawaiian Education Council, 2018).
