    Brief

    The Fund is commissioning a pilot thematic evaluation focused on community connection to test a new approach for assessing impact across multiple funding portfolios. This project aims to: (1) develop a standardized methodology for conducting cross-Fund thematic evaluations aligned with organizational missions such as environmental sustainability or community connection, (2) implement this approach through this pilot evaluation to generate impact evidence on the community connection theme, and (3) produce recommendations for integrating thematic evaluations into future funding practice. Unlike traditional program-specific evaluations, this pilot will deliver both substantive impact findings and methodological insights to inform broader adoption. Suppliers should have expertise in impact evaluation, cross-portfolio analysis, and complex evaluation design. The successful delivery will support the Fund's Evidence and Impact Strategy to increase the proportion of funding supported by independent evaluations.
