According to United Philanthropy Forum’s 2018 Report Advancing Racial Equity in Philanthropy: A Scan of Philanthropy- Serving Organizations, 51% of survey respondents have been engaged in racial equity work, though don’t necessarily consider their efforts advanced. Below are just a few highlights:

  • Connecticut Council for Philanthropy – Like many, has ongoing DEI committee, in past six months alone, CCP:

convened CEOs of Community Foundations & private foundation members for daylong session on racial equity/racial justice grantmaking with PRE; hosted focus group of racial equity NGOs to inform process and identify needs; provided training for membership on racial equity grantmaking with Race Forward; and highlighted racial equity throughout annual conference.

  • Funders Together to End Homelessness – Funders Together to End Homelessness brought in PRE and ABFE to

work with Board and Staff, highlighted racial equity issues at annual convenings and developed their own program: Foundations for Racial Equity. This program is a two-year practice to “help funders move the needle toward greater racial equity in homelessness and housing.”

  • Grantmakers in the Arts – GIA offered a pre-conference workshop at their conference on RE and engaged a

range of thought leaders in the space through workshops and trainings.

  • Washington Regional Association of Grantmakers – WRAG’s current work includes Putting Racism on the Table,

”a learning and action series for philanthropy” covering different topics related to structural racism. Phase two

  • f their RE work includes evolving to engage nonprofit leaders.

www.racialequity.org @RJGrantmakers

Using Choice Points to Advance Equity& Inclusion

  • 1. Where are the decision-making points that affect outcomes?
  • 2. What decisions/actions may be reinforcing the status quo, implicit

bias and current inequities?

  • 3. What alternative action options could produce different outcomes?
  • 4. Which action will best advance equity and inclusion?
  • 5. What reminders, supports and accountability systems can be

structured into routine practices to keep equity as a high priority?

“[Organization X] experts spent the last few months in conversations with leaders from across the country who are using a range of established strategies to promote equity and expand access to opportunity.” “Because [Organization Y] is also focused on these issues, I thought I would reach out personally to share the results of this deliberate process, which identifies areas where knowledge-building focused explicitly on

  • vercoming the legacy of structural racism could accelerate solutions to the

profound equity gaps that persist today.” “The [Organization X] team is available to meet with you and your team about finding solutions to structural racism…”
