Our Grantee Demographic Data
We are committed to deepening our understanding of who we fund and how their experiences can inform our grantmaking practices.
We partner with Candid to collect demographic data from our current U.S.-based 501(c)(3) grantees, including information on race and ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, and disability status for Board members, CEOs/ Executive Directors (“leaders”), senior staff, and staff.
Overall Responses
While we encouraged demographic reporting for staff, senior staff, leaders and boards, most organizations reported their leaders’ demographics and less often for other positions throughout their organizations.
