This week, we welcomed new Equitable Evaluation Framework Practice Partners into the fold: @BlueCross BlueShield of North Carolina Foundation, Healthy Communities Foundation, James S. McDonnell Foundation, Mellon Foundation, The Skillman Foundation, and St. David's Foundation. We started our orientation with one of our favorite questions: what is bringing you joy? Here are some of the things our new Practice Partners shared: - a beautiful, sunshiney day - the first day of school went well (for their kids) - coffee - being with their colleagues What is bringing you joy?

What’s on our work spaces can show us a lot. 1. Even Wonder Woman needs to show you her boo-boo sometimes. 2. Framed family photos next to stacks of books is absolutely on point. 3. Some of us understand the importance of hydrating better than others. Let this serve as a reminder that you probably need more water. 4. When your kid writes a quote in chalk—whether it’s exactly right or not—it sticks with you. What’s on your work space? Drop that photo in the comments.

Hosting Affinity Groups this week with Equitable Evaluation Framework Practitioners reminded us of our affinity for rooftops and conversation. Here’s to partners near and far who joined us during the Grantmakers for Effective Organizations (GEO) Conference in LA last month. May this month also find you in the sun amongst friends. #EquitableEvaluationFramework #Philanthropy

After 450 hours of coaching conversations over Zoom, there is something to be said for spending time together in person. On a rooftop. On a sunny day in downtown LA. During the Grantmakers for Effective Organizations (GEO) Conference, EEI hosted incoming Equitable Evaluation Framework Practice Partners, Practitioners, Investment Partners, and Champions to celebrate the closeout of the first phase of our collective work and officially launch the next phase. Heartfelt thanks to Seattle Foundation and The Kresge Foundation for their sponsorship of our celebration. From an idea to a living, breathing thing, the EEF offers a way to think, be, and do differently in philanthropic evaluation, strategy, program development, and more. Interested in the practice of the EEF, find out more at https://lnkd.in/gMEXZFM7. #Philanthropy #EquitableEvaluationFramework

The Equitable Evaluation Framework Practitioners who practice together, party together. (Or at least enjoy a good rooftop conversation together.) Special thanks to Phil Chung from The Colorado Health Foundation, Marissa Jackson from Seattle Foundation, and Art Garcia from The Kresge Foundation for joining Marcia Coné, PhD and EEI at the Grantmakers for Effective Organizations (GEO) conference in LA to share the ways they practice the EEF. If you're interested in becoming an EEF Practice Partner, there are still a few slots left. Find out more at https://lnkd.in/gMEXZFM7 and discover ways to embed the EEF into your foundation's practices. #Philanthropy #EquitableEvaluationFramework
