Radiant Global Insights provides world-class monitoring, evaluation, and program strategy services to mission-driven organizations working to change lives.

Our journey began in 2022, when Kate Williams-Whitley—then Vice President of Research and Learning at one of the world’s largest humanitarian nonprofits—was invited to launch a new research initiative within Excellence in Giving. Kate had built trusted evaluation systems that delivered the kind of rigorous, actionable insights the development sector was looking for—insights that helped leadership teams refine programs and gave funders confidence that their generosity was making a meaningful difference.

That shared vision grew into EIG Insights, a fast-growing effort to help organizations define clear outcomes, assess effectiveness, and craft data-informed stories that inspire trust and generosity. As the work expanded, so did the need for a clear, independent identity—one that could offer rigorous, unbiased evaluation while still remaining informed by the realities of donor expectations. With the support of Excellence in Giving’s leadership and a continued appreciation for the advisory lens that shaped its early work, we formally established Radiant Global Insights as an independent firm—uniquely positioned to generate insight that serves both program excellence and donor confidence.

The name Radiant Global Insights was chosen with purpose.

We believe insight alone isn’t enough. It’s radiant insight—insight illuminated with clarity, courage, and compassion—that truly transforms decision-making.

Just as radiant light reveals both the contours of a landscape and the direction forward, we seek to shine light on what’s working, what needs refining, and where strategic action can lead to lasting change. Radiant insight doesn’t just measure impact—it helps leaders see with precision, move with confidence, and act with integrity.

It’s why our work exists.

And it's also why we love giraffes.

Because of the position of their eyes—high atop long necks and wide on either side of their heads—giraffes have a remarkable vantage point. They see both the broad horizon and the details up close. They even see in color.

With this panoramic clarity, giraffes move through their world with awareness, strategy, and grace. With radiant insight, they illuminate their environment and protect what matters most.

And then there’s the bird.

In nature, birds often perch on the heads of giraffes. From that elevated position, they gain not just safety, but perspective—a view they could never access alone. In our logo, the bird represents the organizations we serve. We are the giraffe: offering height, clarity, and protection. You are the bird: bringing purpose, direction, and the work that truly changes lives. Together, we gain a clearer view of the landscape—and the wisdom to move through it with intention.

That’s what we want for the world’s most committed change-makers—like you.

Today, Radiant Global Insights partners with organizations around the world to strengthen programs, increase transparency, and build trust. Our role is simple but powerful: to illuminate what’s working, identify what needs refining, and equip you to communicate your impact with excellence.

If you're seeking a trusted partner to help you evaluate your work and lead with insight—Radiant Global Insights is here to help.
