Description:
ORGANIZATIONAL SUMMARY Equal Measure (EqM) is a national professional services firm headquartered in Philadelphia, PA, and remotely across the U.S. With more than 40 years in the social justice field, we partner with foundations, nonprofits, and public entities to apply new ways of thinking and learning to transform systems. We center racial equity in all aspects of our work, with experience in fields such as education, workforce development, public health, economic mobility, and criminal justice.

Casey Foundation, the Aspen Institute Forum for Community Solutions, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Boston Foundation, the BUILD Health Challenge, the City of Philadelphia, Comcast, the deBeaumont Foundation, the Helios Foundation, Lumina Foundation, the National Science Foundation, New America, PolicyLink, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Robin Hood, and the United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey. At Equal Measure, we believe that people and communities deserve to thrive–and can only do so when race is not a predictor of life outcomes. To realize that vision, we are combining evaluation with an approach to advancing racial equity that emphasizes shared learning to power sustainable systems change. Four pillars drive our mission: Knowledge Building: We help clients understand the root causes and disparities in outcomes. Narrative Change: We rewrite the narratives to center communities as co-creators of solutions. Convening: We create a space for dialogue, mutual learning, and collective action. Capacity Building: We supercharge our clients with the tools and training they need to become advocates for racial equity.
