Nova's Equitable Decision Making Matrix Toolkit

Equity is a comprehensive and inclusive approach that considers both needs-based and outcome-based factors when evaluating and addressing disparities among individuals or groups. It recognizes that people have diverse needs and experiences, and these needs can be influenced by their social identities, such as race, gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and more.

Organizations practicing equity are seeking to create a culture in which all people have access to the resources and opportunities necessary to thrive and reach their full potential. Equity requires us to move beyond equality and aims to rectify historical disadvantages.
