Overview of the Funders Collaborative for Innovative Measurement (FCIM)
Prepared for Grantmakers for Education
October 17, 2017

We catalyze efforts and seek a solution for
coordinating application of measures for high-
priority, hard to measure interpersonal
and intrapersonal competencies.
We co-invest in high priority projects
enabling our partners to achieve a larger return on their investments and make a deeper impact in the field.
We coordinate operations for
promoting collaboration,
facilitating dialogue and sharing
information among members.

To thrive in life, young people need to master competencies beyond academics. Funders launched FCIM in 2015 in response to this need.

Specifically, FCIM invests in five core areas of action to support forward progress towards it’s goals
▪ Develop a national research and innovation hub envisioned for the ongoing development and application of valid and reliable measures for both researchers and practitioners

To create valid and reliable measurements tools that meet the needs of and are used well by, educators, policymakers and researchers for accountability, improvement and knowledge-building to
support learning and development for all youth to thrive and succeed.
