The values of Woods Charitable Fund are described in our Code of Ethics, and are implemented through its internal policies and practices. These values and the Fund's commitment to the public interest inform and guide the actions of its board and staff.

Woods Charitable Fund also views diversity as a fundamental element of social justice and integral to its mission. WCF’s ability to achieve its goals can best be accomplished if the programs it offers and supports reflect a diversity of perspectives among the Fund’s grantmaking, personnel and employment practices, and governance. In January 2008 the WCF board unanimously approved a resolution stating the organization’s commitment to diversity.

Both the Woods Charitable Fund's Code of Ethics and the Statement on Diversity are available for viewing in PDF format that requires the use of Adobe's Acrobat Reader, which can be downloaded free of charge from the Adobe web site.
