Mighty Crow

Mighty Crow is an American evaluation and research company headquartered in Columbus, United States. It describes itself as a firm that helps grant-funded nonprofits, government bodies and private entities do their best and most effective work by offering data-driven solutions to identifiable problems. Its stated mission is captured in the tagline "Helping Great Ideas Take Flight," and its client philosophy is summarized as helping "people who help other people." The company positions itself as a group of professional, well-credentialed and socially motivated people focused on finding answers and getting results rather than applying off-the-shelf checklists. Mighty Crow's work centers on evaluation services, but the firm says its engagements rarely end there. It offers a wide suite of services meant to support and address the needs its evaluations reveal, including strategic planning, organizational assessments, marketing and communication planning, and program development. It works with federal, state and local level organizations as well as private entities to enact, shepherd and improve the social programs they offer and to optimize the organizations themselves. The team brings experience in disciplines such as strategic planning, marketing communications, project management and program development. According to the company's own story page, Mighty Crow has worked with over 75 clients since 2012, and its first encounter with a client often leads to multi-year collaboration on multiple projects. The firm emphasizes a tailored approach, stating that there is never a one-size-fits-all answer and that cookie-cutter solutions are good only for cookies. It also stresses continuity of support, comparing its loyalty to crows staying with the flock when they are needed most. Mighty Crow presents itself as an organization that lives its core values rather than merely stating them. Its team includes people who have worked in many of the fields the firm serves, as well as people in recovery from mental health and/or substance use disorders, people who identify as LGBTQ+, and people with lived experience in trauma and trauma survivorship. These experiences are said to inform the firm's work. The company operates primarily in the United States market and is privately held.
