ITERA PARTNERS
Program strategy, evaluation, and accountability systems.
Senior-level guidance for nonprofits, foundations, and public initiatives.
Itera Partners is a consulting practice founded by Natasha Wanchek, a senior advisor with more than 15 years in program strategy, evaluation, and organizational learning — across nonprofit, philanthropic, and government sectors.
I've spent that time building the frameworks that make complex programs work — connecting strategy to execution, defining what success looks like, and making sure data informs decisions and gets used. This includes directing performance and accountability systems for USAID and CDC-funded federal workforce initiatives, designing performance frameworks for a 55+ branch national membership organization, and designing the impact measurement system for a humanitarian small-grants portfolio spanning 95 projects and 61 partner organizations.
I founded Itera Partners to make that level of rigor available to organizations that need embedded, senior-level guidance: someone who can hold strategy, measurement, and execution together at the same time.

Grant Strategy & Program Design

Winning grants starts before the writing begins. I help shape the program, clarifying goals and building the outcomes framework - then craft a narrative that speaks directly to what a funder cares about.
