HOW WE IDENTIFY
We believe organizations and initiatives led by those affected by inequity have the best solutions for enacting real change. We ask grant and sponsorship applicants to share demographic information about their board and staff members to get a broader picture of how lived experience shows up in their work. To hold ourselves accountable to the same expectations, we share the same demographic information.
