About this grant
The Council on Foundations was formed to promote responsible and effective philanthropy and has a membership of 2,100 grantmaking foundations and giving programs worldwide. The council provides the opportunities, leadership, and tools that philanthropic organizations need to expand, enhance, and sustain their ability to advance the common good. This grant will provide partial support to the council for its Diversity and Inclusiveness Program, which has three main goals: 1) increase the diversity of trustee and executive-level talent in philanthropy; 2) create educational programming on the value and definition of diversity and inclusiveness as a tool of effectiveness; and 3) increase awareness of the importance of diversity and inclusiveness within the philanthropic sector.
