Diversity Monograph & Storytelling


"Diversity in Action: Strategies with Impact" and "Diversity & Inclusion: Lessons from the Field" feature the stories, successes, and experiences of philanthropic leaders as they work to embed diversity and inclusive practices within their organizations. The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation provided support for these publications, which is a co-project of the Council on Foundations and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors. We were pleased to collaborate with the Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers on "Diversity in Action."

Researcher/Practioner Forum on the State of Research on Diversity in Philanthropy

Improving the quality and effectiveness of grantmaking was the focus of the first-ever Researcher/Practitioner Forum that took place in the fall of 2007 in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Designed as the first in a series, the forum brings together grantmakers and researchers so they can exchange ideas on key issues in philanthropy and better focus their research. Participants are invited based on their grantmaking background and experience on the chosen topic or their research expertise.

The El Pomar Foundation served as host for the 2007 forum, which the Council convened in partnership with the Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action (ARNOVA) and the Foundation Center. The Lumina Foundation for Education provided a grant to underwrite this and a subsequent forum that will take place in late 2008.

Printed versions of the proceedings of the 2007 forum are made possible by a grant from the Diversity in Philanthropy Project:
