My Sessions
Driving Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at a Small Foundation
At small foundations, a small staff can make it especially challenging to address issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Panelists from small foundations will share a look at their organizations’ roadmap to improving DEI, including the practices they have changed or are looking to change, and the processes they have used.
