Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

This affinity group is intended for participants who are interested in exploring issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), both within our organizations and in the broader community, with the understanding that enhanced knowledge and relationships with key stakeholders can inform our work as grantmakers and collaborators.
