Our Commitment to Racial Equity

OUR
NORTH
STAR.

Equal Measure envisions a society in which race no longer predicts life outcomes. We take this commitment seriously. Our rich history in evaluation, collective impact, and place-based systems change has guided our organizational journey to center the experiences of communities of color.

Four pillars drive our mission to strengthen the knowledge and capacity of partners:

Knowledge Building

We help clients get to the root of inequitable systems and share insights for change.

Capacity Building

We supercharge our clients with the tools and training they need to transform systems.

Convening

We create spaces for dialogue, mutual learning, and collective action.

Narrative Change

We deepen our clients’ progress toward narratives that center communities as co-creators of solutions.

As a fundamental component of our commitment to racial equity, Equal Measure adheres to a comprehensive nondiscrimination policy. We do not discriminate against any person on the basis of race, color, creed, national or ethnic origin, religious or spiritual affiliation or nonreligious or nonspiritual affiliation, age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital or parental status, disability, health, source of income, urban or rural geographic connection, familial class, immigration status, or status as a veteran in our employment practices, client engagements, and activities.

We look forward to working closely with our team, clients, and colleagues in the field to ensure that racial equity remains central to each of our endeavors. And we encourage our counterparts in the social sector to check their biases, misconceptions, and gaps in knowledge, to contribute to a productive and open dialogue.
