Our annual justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) report is a conversation starter.

90.5 percent of 23 grant dollars invested in orgs led by native americans and communities of color

Our JEDI journey helped produce momentous impact in 2023. We changed our mission to center justice—racial, social, and economic. And, our grantmaking supported our priority communities at the highest rate since we started tracking the diversity of grantee partner leadership in 2019. More than 50 percent of grant dollars went to Native-led organizations. More than 90 percent went to organizations led by communities of color.

“There is so much information and learning happening, both individually and collectively,” is just one of the quotes from staff about our JEDI journey in 2023. The report is one way we hold ourselves accountable to you, our readers, and to our communities served.
