Demographic Data Initiative

Grantee Inclusion Statement

The Foundation values organizations that are committed to promoting the broad diversity, equity, and inclusion of the communities they serve. We seek grantees and partners that also embrace these beliefs and demonstrate them through their policies, practices, actions and impact.

Demographic Data Initiative

In 2020, as part of the Foundation’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), we began an effort to collect more information on the demographic makeups of our grantees. This data will serve multiple purposes: to help us understand how our grantmaking reflects the communities we hope to serve, to equip our staff with critical data to better serve the needs of our communities, and to track our progress with our board and our grantees. It will not play a role in any individual grant decision. This survey is one part of a larger multi-year DEI effort, and we will continue to update our grantees and the field with our findings.
