3 Best Practices to Enrich Your Good Works with Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

▤ Summary

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) are no longer nice-to-have buzzwords—they are critical societal concerns that are becoming more central in the philanthropic sector. So, we asked the experts on our Philanthropic Advisory Services Team to share some of the strategic considerations and best practices foundations can use to successfully incorporate DEI approaches into day-to-day processes, communications and actions. If your organization and its actions don’t reflect and support your beliefs and priorities around DEI, there are opportunities to revisit and retool your practices for better outcomes. Other less explicit, but perhaps equally effective, measures might include: • Engaging members of a target community to help design the solutions that the foundation will support to illustrate its commitment to the inclusion of a wide array of voices. • Reviewing all internal and public foundation communications, such as websites, applications, annual reports and collateral, social media posts, press releases and employee handbooks for consistency with DEI principles and priorities.
