Each grantee provides information on the race and ethnicity of the people they serve. Looking at individuals served by our grant dollars, we found that two thirds are people of color. Importantly, this aligns with one of our communities of focus — those affected by systemic racism.
The demographics of those served by, and the people within, our partner organizations are more diverse than our region as a whole.
Although the data show that people of color are significantly represented in those served, the leadership of these organizations are not: it is important to have people of colors lead in the work to address the issues affecting people of color.
