Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion: Recommended Resources

In 2018 we launched the FEG Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Committee as the first step in our undertaking to improve diversity and inclusion efforts across our organization. Since then, we have focused on increasing our awareness and learning how to ensure that every member of our organization and our community feels respected, heard, and recognized.

To that end, we have cultivated a short list of resources we have found insightful. While we are not experts in this area, we recognize that information-sharing is a vital piece of the growth process. We invite you to share these with your team, subscribe for updates, and add them to your list of resources.

Investing in a Healthy Dialogue

During times of uncertainty, such as the volatility experienced amid the COVID-19 pandemic, making sure communication is among your top priorities will go a long way in keeping your organization and its endowment or foundation working in the same direction.
