It’s time to recognize how inequity shapes funders’ choice of partners.
The philanthropic sector believes diversity, equity, and inclusion are central to any social mission, but how can organizations ensure that their own people and processes reflect those values?
Including grantees in decision-making, program-building, and strategy is critical to effective social impact. While the things grantmakers “do” are important, authentic inclusion also requires that they embrace a new mindset.
