We know that Arcus grantees are making change happen. Thanks to the hard work, determination and vision of our partners, we are beginning to see gains in legal rights, respect and equality for LGBT people -- in Michigan, around the country and around the globe.But how do we measure these gains, and how can we best tell the stories of progress and of setbacks? Arcus is committed to ongoing assessment of our goals and strategies and of progress we are making in achieving outcomes in all our program areas. We are committed to assessing results in collaboration with our grantees and other partners. And we are committed to improving the transparency of our policies and processes.
