Philanthropy News Digest interviewed foundation CEO Fred Blackwell on what he defines as racial equity, the foundation’s program areas and how they came to be, how donors have responded to our new focus, and more.
“…how you use your voice, how you do your grantmaking, how you manage your hiring process, who you hire, how you buy your products, which consultants you use, how you talk to partners and potential partners about what you’re working on and how they can join you.
