A trusted partner for evidence-driven decision-making
We help funders, agencies, and nonprofit organizations translate data, research, and stakeholder voice into strategies that strengthen programs, improve outcomes, and advance lasting impact.
Together, Building Unified Futures
At LeCroy & Milligan Associates, collaboration is the foundation of everything we do. For more than three decades, we have worked side-by-side with organizations to uncover meaningful insight, strengthen accountability, and achieve results that matter.
​
Through comprehensive approaches to planning, evaluating, and improving programs and policy, we help organizations document outcomes, address their most pressing questions, and anticipate future challenges.
Together, we connect the pieces of the puzzle—using data, discovery, and strategy to guide progress, strengthen systems, and deliver lasting impact.
Why Leaders Choose Us
Leaders partner with LeCroy & Milligan Associates because they need more than reports—they need clarity, credibility, and a trusted ally in complex environments.
At its core, leaders choose LMA because we deliver something rare: analytical precision paired with human understanding—where data, discovery, and strategy meet.
LMA understands that human services happen within complex systems. We help organizations improve programs and services in these environments while assessing and telling the story of systems-change initiatives.
With more than 30 years of service, LMA brings deep institutional knowledge, sector-wide perspective, and a track record of delivering meaningful results.
We are a multidisciplinary team conducting projects across health, human services and most public sector realms. This means we understand the work you are doing and do not see it in a silo but rather in a complex system.
Making decisions is challenging. We work to ensure the data and results point to clear strategies and opportunities. This can include collecting, analyzing and reporting on all types of data. We conduct rigorous evaluation designs (e.g., RCTs) when strong evidence is needed to meet government, clearinghouse or publication standards.
We understand that starting small can lead to big results. We help conduct pilot program evaluations, process/implementation evaluations and other approaches that can start to inform results. We focus on organization of this data and information for scalable use if the program is identified for expansion/replication.
Human intelligence is at the center of how we work. We bring together expertise, context, relationships, and careful judgment to help organizations make sense of complexity and act with clarity.
"Candelen has been fortunate enough to enter its third year in partnership with LMA. Our collective work has been nothing short of spectacular. Every team member that we've been lucky enough to work with has been top notch, their dedication to their craft shining through every interaction, conversation and meeting we have together. The staff are careful and thoughtful listeners - a quality that is invaluable as you begin a partnership with an entity that is learning about your work. They truly have taken the time to completely understand our program and have helped us design an evaluation protocol and tools that have propelled our organization's ability to understand our reach and our impact. The evaluation reports and other deliverables have always been high quality and met our needs 100%."
