Finally, a practical self-assessment guide on a key ingredient of philanthropic impact for equity and justice: power

Like most grantmakers who care about improving the health, safety and security of our communities, you want to know that your work is making a difference on the issues and communities you care about. So you turn to periodic assessments or evaluations to determine how well you’re doing.

But traditional assessments often overlook the critical relationship between power and equity in achieving lasting equitable impact.

POWER MOVES is the only self-assessment guide that will help you view your strategies and practices through the lens of the power-equity relationship.
