“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 central 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 objectivesand enables us to help our clients make their communities stronger, healthier, more equitable, and more inclusive.”

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.
