Board Briefings for Fall/Winter 2025

Boards across the nonprofit and foundation sector are about to make decisions that will shape their 2026 strategies. Yet these choices come at a moment when civic space is narrowing and the rules for nonprofits themselves are shifting.

EIRP draws on global evidence of how organizations have weathered similar challenges elsewhere and adapted to stay resilient. Our customized board briefings, offered on a sliding fee scale, equip your directors with the context they need to make informed choices in uncertain times. Contact us to schedule a 15-minute call about supporting your next board meeting.

EIRP's services are responsive to the evolving needs of foundations, nonprofits, and other private and public entities invested in strong democracy in the United States and around the world. Each offering gives our clients the strategic insights and actionable data they need to have an impact even in a rapidly changing political environment. We co-create questions, methods, and recommendations with our clients, designing everything we produce to be used by its intended audience.

  • We collaborate with other organizations to pool resources and support large-scale, sector-wide research and data analytics initiatives that would be too costly for a single organization to undertake alone.

  • We provide on-demand services such as policy and implementation research, data analytics, as well as retainer models for portfolio-level research and analysis and ongoing learning and adaptation.

  • We offer specialized democracy measurement, evaluation, and learning frameworks and tools, training programs for democracy practitioners, and coaching for ongoing programs.
