Diversity, Inclusion and Effective Philanthropy
Diversity, Inclusion and Effective Philanthropy
Funders can make their grantmaking more responsive and efficient by combining the concepts of diversity and inclusion with basic due diligence, a new guide from Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors argues. According to Diversity, Inclusion and Effective Philanthropy (13 pages, PDF), donors who seek the participation of individuals from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of perspectives, ideas, and experience in the planning, design, implementation, and evaluation of programming tend to make better-informed funding decisions. The guide also highlights the work of the D5 Coalition, which seeks to create a unified strategy for philanthropy for achieving greater impact in an increasingly diverse world; offers basic tips to funders related to self-assessment, research, prototype planning, and evaluation; and highlights lessons learned.
