Providing years of expertise in research, evaluation, human rights, and advocacy.
Since 1974, Rainbow Research has developed a reputation for engaging in participatory, systems-oriented research and evaluation with a strong, consistent focus on social justice. Today, our majority BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) staff and board deepen that tradition as we redefine our work through decolonizing frames.
