2018 Diversity Among Philanthropic Professionals Report

Published: 
11/2019

In 2018, Funders for LGBTQ Issues set out to survey the board and staff of foundations in order to identify how many LGBTQ people worked in philanthropy. In the process, the organization realized that it had an opportunity to not only ask about sexual orientation and gender identity but also to inquire about a range of personal identifiers. With the inaugural Diversity Among Philanthropic Professionals (DAPP) Survey, Funders for LGBTQ Issues asked participants to identify their role within their foundation, their age, gender identity, sexual orientation, race and ethnicity, and disability status. This report lays out the results of the DAPP survey in aggregate form.

Day 3 Concurrent Session - What's Your Equity Footprint?

It is not enough for foundations to simply avoid inequitable practices in a society premised on white supremacy and patriarchy; rather, foundations must consciously dedicate themselves to centering equity in all facets of their institutions’ work. Rather than simply minimizing a damaging footprint, an Equity Footprint invites the foundation to enact positive, equitable change.This conversation seeks to provide a framework, a lens, and perhaps some tools to support foundations to interrogate their respective cultures, practices and norms, toward the aim of embedding equity.

What’s Race Got to Do With It? Equity and Philanthropic Evaluation Practice

Published: 
10/2018

An increasing number of foundations are embracing racial equity/equity as a core value, and it is influencing how they see themselves and operate. However, evaluation has for the most part remained untouched. Knowing how race/racism has influenced both, philanthropy and evaluation, deepens our understanding of how philanthropic evaluation practice may unintentionally reinforce racism. Equitable evaluation shifts the current evaluation paradigm to one that centers equity/racial equity, so that it is more aligned with the values and intentions of current day philanthropic endeavors.
