Good Measure works to:
Build a strong culture of data and learning within nonprofit and funder partners
Provide data & evaluation skill-building opportunities to the nonprofit and philanthropic sector
Encourage funders to shift their own practices to better support data & evaluation efforts
Support the systems and infrastructure needed to access and use community data
Good Measure is committed to delivering programs that center equity in data & evaluation work.
Our priority areas for 2021 include:
Changing funder policies and mindsets
Building equity into our existing offerings
Building community stakeholder voice into decision-making strategies
Focusing on equity through our Special Project Fund
Evaluating our programming through community-centered evaluation practices
Good Measure is supported by funders like you, who care deeply about building data & evaluation capacity within our Central Texas region.
Good Measure Advisors receive the following benefits:
The opportunity to join Good Measure staff and Steering Committee members in planning the 2021 Partners in Measurement series and the Special Projects Fund.
Up to eight (8) tickets for your grantee organizations to attend Data You Can Use, our team-intensive course focused on developing evaluation strategy using a participatory approach.
Bi-annual Advisor meetings to connect with other funders and share feedback with Good Measure Staff and Steering Committee members.
