Funders’ Collaborative for Innovative Measurement (FCIM), a group of nine private foundations and two federal agency partners, was created in 2015 to explore areas for coordination, collaboration, and information sharing that will advance the state of and appropriate usage of interpersonal and intrapersonal measures by educators, policymakers and researchers. After a successful launch phase, FCIM is inviting foundations to consider joining as a Sustaining or Affiliate Member for the next two years. For more information, please reach out to itai@efct.org.
