Foundations & Diversity Practices
How and Why to Open Up Diversity Data
Relatively few foundations publicly share data measuring staff and board diversity. The California Endowment (TCE) has just posted its annual Diversity Audit, so we invited them to talk about how and why they share this information.
Robert K. Ross, M.D., TCE's president and CEO, looks at how their Diversity Audit shapes the policies, practices, and processes that express the foundation's values.
Dolores Estrada, TCE's director of grant operations, digs in on the challenges the foundation faces in living up to its commitment to diversity.
Of the 77 foundations we profile, only TCE and five others share diversity data:
