Dear EEI community & beyond,
Updated: May 22, 2023
It’s spring in the United States, and with the season comes change, growth, expansion.
The original offering of a set of principles and orthodoxies is known among those curious about and connected to the Equitable Evaluation FrameworkTM (EEF). The EEF is grounded primarily in the experience of institutional foundations within the United States from 2019—2023.
During the past four and a half years the Equitable Evaluation Initiative (EEI) engaged with 44 foundations in practice of the EEF. Alongside these foundations, consultants, philanthropic support organizations (PSOs), nonprofits, and public sector agencies contributed to the expanded version of the EEF we offer here.
Today, the EEF includes the following elements:
Principles, as foundational guideposts;
Orthodoxies to be questioned/challenged;
Mindsets, as established set(s) of attitudes to be shifted;
Tensions inherent in change processes to be named, navigated, and normalized;
It looks, sounds, and feels different. It evolved. It will continue to do so.
Our heartfelt gratitude to EEI Investment Partners, EEF Practice Partners & Practitioners, Consultant and Nonprofit/Public Sector Pilot Participants, Coaches, and Knowledge Curators.
This is a collective effort rooted in relationship, trust, reciprocity, and respect among humans striving to be more human. EEI’s commitment and intention remains steadfast: to seed a field and sow a practice of EEF practitioners.
We invite you to explore this latest version of the EEF and engage with those in the practice.

This expansion is a fantastic step towards equitable evaluations! slope rider I’d love to see more examples of how these strategies have worked in different contexts—sharing success stories could inspire broader engagement and trust in the process.
Al-Zahrawi’s surgical texts spread for centuries because clear knowledge travels well. Similarly, clean audio helps educational content travel further. If you ever record narrations about his work, an AI Voice Isolator can remove background noise right in the browser, no upload needed.
Interesting piece. Your lorem ipsum reminded me how much text can feel like a puzzle, which is oddly similar to music games. Lately I have been trying to guess song titles from tiny clips, and those one-second challenges really test your ear. Do you think short-form puzzles train memory better than longer ones?
Deck stairs should be designed for comfortable movement and reliable access. Their dimensions, handrails, and placement must follow applicable building codes and suit the overall structure. Homeowners should consider how frequently the stairs will be used and whether they connect the deck to a patio, lawn, or driveway. Slip-resistant surfaces and adequate lighting can improve usability. Careful Deck Lighting Colorado planning helps the finished staircase complement the deck while providing a practical connection between different outdoor levels.
I love how this post frames joy as something you rediscover, not schedule. It reminds me of tinkering with 3D models—turning a messy design into a clean print file. If you’re ever stuck on file formats, a quick 3d convert fix keeps the hobby fun, not frustrating.
