LFA has developed a series of considerations – summarized in checklist format – as one tool to help us, and our partners, incorporate an equity lens into evaluation work. The checklists (1) Encourage us to be intentional and proactive about authentically representing multiple perspectives, and (2) Pose critical questions designed to challenge our biases and illuminate where we can be more inclusive and culturally responsive. The checklist series is organized into eight parts, which align to critical junctures in the evaluation process. Download the Checklist Overview, as well the eight individual checklists: Project Design, Evaluation Project Launch, Evaluation Plan & Timeline Development, Evaluation Project Mid-Point Check-In, Theory of Change & Logic Model Development, Instrument Development & Data Collection, Data Interpretation & Analysis, Reporting & Presenting Findings.

This tool is for funders who are invested in supporting leaders and organizations and are committed to centering racial equity.
This tool provides a menu of practices to help funders move from the “what” of racial equity grantmaking principles to the “how” of those principles. It also provides reflection questions to guide funders of capacity building as we believe that equity-centered learning requires continual self-reflection, analysis, and accountability, along with action.
Not all questions and practices will likely be resonant at any given moment in time, but we invite you to identify which are most relevant right now and keep coming back to this tool as your work evolves and grows
