Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
The Council on Foundations promotes responsible and effective philanthropy. Our mission requires a commitment to inclusiveness as a fundamental operating principle. It also calls for affirmations of diversity in its many forms, encompassing but not limited to:
- ethnicity
- race
- gender and gender identity
- sexual orientation
- age
- economic circumstance
- class
- disability
- geography
- philosophy
Diversity ensures that a range of perspectives, opinions, and experiences are recognized and acted upon in achieving the Council’s mission. We ask members to make a similar commitment to inclusiveness in order to be more effective and better enhance their abilities to contribute to our changing society.
