In 2020, Good Measure updated their Data Champion Guiding Principles to center #equity. The refreshed principles focus on inclusivity & building on strengths. These principles guide our own work in centering community voice in our #evaluation and #learning practices.
Today, we invite you to learn more about our view of health equity as a process, how it fits within the Foundation’s grantmaking strategy, and how we are thinking and working differently. Download the Health Equity purpose paper here: https://t.co/zfM5X2eH3g

“If this pandemic is not the time for transformative action, then when is? Please increase your payout rate. By giving more now in the present, you increase the chance that there will be a future.” #calltoaction for #foundations act now.
