Equal Measure

“The 990 is reviewed in detail by the board members prior to submission.”

“Conflicts of interest are disclosed in writing and reviewed by the board annually. These coi include review and disclosure by board members as well as staff.”

“Full staff compensation and benefits studies are conducted every other year with the results communicated to the board of directors. The most recent study was completed in 2017 with positive results. The 2017 study included a compensation philosophy and bonus policy. Performance management processes are in place and performance of all staff is assessed each year. Performance is taken into consideration when compensation is presented within board approved annual budgets.”

“The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy or financial statements are made available upon request.”

“For more than 30 years, equal measure has partnered with foundations, nonprofits, and public entities-helping them "do even better" as they work to advance social change. In this partnership, we help our clients apply new ways of thinking and learning to achieve their program objectives through five service lines: program design, evaluation, capacity building, technical assistance, and communications. Through these services, equal measure helps our clients: identify the outcomes they want to achieve, and develop strategies, programs, investments, and practices to attain those results. Understand what works, and why, for their audiences, so they can shape interventions and learning exchanges that advance social impact. Broaden and sustain the impact they (and their grantees) can achieve in their communities. Sharpen the practices that support their programs, investments, and community engagement initiatives. Articulate compelling, salient stories or narratives about advancing social change. As a core component of this approach, we help our clients identify the root causes of social injustice from multiple historical, cultural, systemic, and structural points of view. Blending these perspectives provides clients with the most nuanced thinking to achieve their social change objectives-and enables us to help our clients make their communities stronger, healthier, more equitable, and more inclusive.”

“We help our clients shift systems, policies, and practices to make communities stronger, healthier, more equitable, and more inclusive. For more than 30 years, we have partnered with those working on complex, often messy social issues-such as improving access to education, addressing health disparities, and revitalizing neighborhoods-to help create more powerful, enduring systems change. We are program designers and evaluators; capacity builders and technical assistance providers; and communications professionals who know the value of narrative change. We balance passion with pragmatism, thought leadership with self-reflection and humility, and rigor with flexibility. And we are committed to upholding diversity, equity, and inclusion inside our organization, across our five customized service lines and in every engagement.”
