Frequently asked questions
What to know before working with CorEvolve.
Clear answers about fit, process, implementation, and what an engagement produces.
Who does CorEvolve work with?
CorEvolve works with foundations, nonprofits, corporate social-impact teams, and multi-partner initiatives designing a new social program or strengthening one already in motion.
Does CorEvolve work with projects as well as programs?
Yes. EVOLVE can support a standalone social project, an organizational program, or a portfolio of connected initiatives. “Program” is the primary term on this site because it reflects the continuing bodies of work common among CorEvolve’s clients.
What kinds of challenges are a good fit?
Common starting points include an unclear program model, misaligned partners, inconsistent delivery, weak learning loops, or a strong idea that needs a practical implementation structure.
What does a typical engagement include?
The scope may combine evidence review, stakeholder conversations, facilitated working sessions, program or process design, practical tools, an implementation roadmap, and support for early adoption.
Does CorEvolve only advise, or also support implementation?
Both. Recommendations connect to roles, tools, decisions, and next actions. CorEvolve can facilitate implementation, learning reviews, and adaptation when needed.
Will we work directly with Juan?
Yes. Juan Manuel Mendoza Puccini leads the work from diagnosis through handoff. When specialized expertise is useful, he assembles a focused team around the engagement.
Can the work be remote?
Yes. CorEvolve works remotely and in person. The practice is based in South Florida and serves organizations nationwide.
Do we have to use the CorEvolve project platform?
No. The platform is optional and can complement your organization’s existing systems.
What could an engagement look like?
A focused program review can bring evidence and stakeholder perspectives into a diagnosis and a prioritized action plan. A program-design engagement can produce a program model, delivery responsibilities, measures, and an implementation roadmap. Implementation support can combine facilitated working sessions, practical tools, and learning reviews.
These are examples of possible scopes, not fixed packages or accounts of past client results. We agree the outputs, boundaries, and acceptance criteria before work begins.
How long does an engagement take?
Timing depends on the question, the number of stakeholders, access to evidence, and the decisions required. A focused review is a smaller commitment than designing a program and supporting its implementation.
During scoping, we agree a proposed calendar with milestones, review points, dependencies, and a target handoff. The written proposal sets the schedule; the free consultation is a first conversation, not a delivery commitment.
What will our team need to contribute?
Plan for a main point of contact, access to relevant information, participation from the people closest to the work, and timely feedback from decision-makers. We clarify who needs to attend each conversation and what preparation is useful.
The proposal identifies responsibilities and expected participation so you can assess the commitment alongside your team's existing work.
How are fees and changes in scope handled?
Fees depend on the agreed scope, outputs, facilitation and implementation support, specialist input, and any travel requirements. We discuss your priorities and constraints, then set out the fees, payment terms, assumptions, and expenses in a written proposal.
If needs change, we agree the effect on scope, timing, and fees before proceeding. The initial 30-minute consultation is free and has no obligation; it does not commit you to a paid engagement.
How do we begin?
Book a free consultation. The initial conversation lasts 30 minutes, has no obligation, and helps clarify fit and a useful first step.
