Grantmakers occupy a powerful space of privilege in the social change sector. As such, they have a unique opportunity — and responsibility — to work proactively toward equity and inclusivity. Increasingly, grantmaking institutions are challenging themselves to live their values through their grantmaking practices.

That data should be used to assess practices and drive decision making.
