Our Mission





Since it was founded in 1989 by Jane Reisman, Ph.D., Organizational Research Services (ORS) has become a national leader in Outcome-based evaluation and Outcome-based planning, serving nonprofit, philanthropic and public organizations.
We work with our clients to create Outcome-based evaluations and plans as well as contracting, grantmaking and performance measurement systems. As part of these efforts, ORS has been building capacity, providing training and technical assistance, and carrying out Outcome-based evaluations. We provide consulting to organizations throughout Washington state as well as nationally and internationally.
