Publication date: 
10/2016

What is the cause of these disconnects, and how might we help bring these two groups together in service of shared community?

These studies included: 1) an analysis of the extent to which grantmaking by large California foundations serves populations of color; and 2) a survey of California foundations to collect baseline data on the demographic composition of their boards and staffs and on the types of diversity-related data collection and grantmaking they are involved in.
