We value authenticity and mutual respect.
At Data+Soul, our team, partners, and communities work together as co-researchers, building authentic relationships needed to learn and ask difficult questions. We set clear expectations and are transparent about our tradeoffs to ensure alignment as we move through our learning journey.
Our vision is clear.
We envision a social sector that uses data + soul to build more equitable and just futures—where evaluations are more rigorous and relevant because they center the stories, assets, and dreams of communities most affected by the work and data and evaluative practices are generative, not extractive.
Our mission for change.
Our mission is to transform the applied research and evaluation landscape by: lifting up innovative and equitable approaches to working with data; supporting our peers as they identify sticky ways to shift their practice; and deliver thoughtful and engaging research and evaluation services to our partners in the social sector.
