A report from the Equitable Evaluation Initiative (EEI) and Grantmakers for Effective Organizations highlights how foundations are working to integrate an equity lens into their evaluation practices.

Based on discussions with staff at six EEI partner foundations, the report, Shifting the Evaluation Paradigm: The Equitable Evaluation Framework™ (42 pages, PDF), found that while foundations have begun to more intentionally integrate equity into their program, governance, operational, and investment decisions, most have not done so with regard to their evaluation practices. EEI's Equitable Evaluation Framework comprises three principles—that evaluation and evaluative work should be in service to equity; that such work should be designed and implemented to be multiculturally valid and oriented toward participant ownership; and that it should address how historical and structural decisions as well as cultural context have contributed to inequity.
