Partnership Evaluation

We evaluate through collaborative discussion, considering mission and practical impact. Most organizations operate in complex realities – we focus on dialogue about specific projects rather than binary judgments.

Accommodations for community organizations:

• Sliding scale based on capacity and mission impact
• Extended virtual account timelines
• Accessibility features and universal design
• Worker protection commitments during implementations
