Join this learning session to hear about field-wide collaborative efforts to strengthen the systems for collecting demographic data effectively at both the organizational and program level to advance equity in grantmaking.
WOMEN'S WAY and Strategy Arts collaborated to create the racial Equity Audit tool to evaluate whether current practices perpetuate inequities and to spur intentional action to incorporate racial equity in policies and practices.
