Pillars of Evaluation
The Pillars of Evaluation provide a shared framework for how we learn and act as a funder.
They connect community insight, data, partnerships, and internal reflection to support better decisions and stronger outcomes.
Together, they ensure evaluation drives meaningful progress, not just reporting.
WHAT MATTERS TO THOSE WE SERVE
Community-Centered Learning
We believe evaluation should start and end with community. We engage community members, grantees, and stakeholders to share insights and shape what matters. Their input informs how we prioritize measurement.
WHAT ARE WE LEARNING FROM THE DATA?
Measurement & Insight
We measure what matters – using data to inform decisions, improve programs, and track progress. Our focus is on meaningful metrics that support transparency and action.
HOW DO WE MOVE FORWARD TOGETHER?
Strategic Partnerships
Evaluation supports a broader effort to drive meaningful change. We build partnerships across organizations and systems learning together about what works, where we’re growing, and how to create lasting impact.
HOW DO WE GROW FROM WITHIN
Internal Learning & Reflection
We see evaluation as a learning journey. We embrace iteration, flexibility, and progress over perfection – using feedback and evidence to evolve with humility and intention.
