Michelle Man
Michelle is a Senior Consultant working with both non-profits and funders to improve their effectiveness and maximise their social impact. She consults on a variety of topics including theory of change, impact measurement and evaluation, and strategy development. Michelle also leads the Open Philanthropy programme, as well as NPC’s consulting work on policy and campaigning.
Among other projects, Michelle is currently working on the evaluation of the government’s Coronavirus Community Support Fund and supporting Amnesty International UK to develop their new strategy. She recently worked with the UK Democracy Fund to identify insights into what works in encouraging democratic participation, and with the Premier League Charitable Fund to understand their impact through a shared measurement approach.
Michelle’s experience spans the public, private and social sectors, working primarily in research, policy and campaigning roles. Before NPC, Michelle worked at the Electoral Commission as a data specialist, managing research and evaluation projects to inform electoral policy. She has worked for non-profits on education, poverty and social mobility, and most recently led Transparency International’s work to reduce corruption in the defence industry. Michelle is a board member of The Politics Project and co-creator of the UK Democracy Handbook.
