What is Good Measure? 

Good Measure began as a funder collective, whose original vision focused on building an evaluation network of data leaders in Central Texas. This led to the creation of multiple offerings designed to strengthen the data and evaluation skills of individuals, and connect organizations working towards the same impact.  

The incredible success of the last 9 years has built a data community of data evaluators and nonprofit leaders in Central Texas, who are eager and willing to co-create the programming and determine the practices and goals of the Good Measure work. 

Mission Capital serves as the backbone facilitator of the funder group. The team works with alumni and partners from the community to develop programming that centers the practices of equitable and participatory evaluation.
