Equanimity Foundation (EQF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to inclusive, sustainable, and transformative global development. Equanimity means calm, composure, and resilience in the face of adversity. Our mission is to partner with underserved and vulnerable populations so they can thrive even in adverse conditions and ensure policy and aid efforts prioritize their needs. At heart, Equanimity's experts are innovators and relentless human rights advocates who execute with insight, strategy, and a penchant for excellence.EQF delivers comprehensive solutions and forges key partnerships to address global challenges. We employ a holistic approach to delivering inclusive development interventions. Unlike traditional organizations that often fail to account for the diversity of local contexts and have limited understanding of cultural nuances, EQF lends a highly tailored perspective to international capacity building. EQF was founded on the belief that a fresh approach is needed to catalyze and achieve transformational systemic reforms. Our approach increases sustainable results for underrepresented communities by highlighting the perspectives of vulnerable populations. We understand the highly integrated nature and intersectionality lens needed to develop tailored programming. Our experts have successfully implemented programs in fragile, conflict-afflicted, and post-conflict locations.Practice Areas: ● Global Development ● Global Security● Gender, Peace, & Security● Social Innovation | Technology"Most communities reject the notion of having an outside entity come in and suggest solutions that are not contextually aligned with their everyday needs and realities. Everyone deserves to have a voice, feel heard, and be treated with dignity and respect. That is why we are committed to adopting an inclusive strategy that ensures the voices of vulnerable populations are heard and solutions designed can be sustained." Karen Isabel GuevaraPresident
