Overview
The Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity in Environmental Philanthropy (InDeep) program is a professional development series and learning community for environmental grantmakers. With support from the Hewlett Foundation, InDeep launched in early 2017, engaging nearly 40 foundations in peer learning sessions. Demand for the program’s services continues to grow. In the coming years, the program will continue its professional development series with topics of interest, including funding pipeline development, culture change, and talent recruitment and retention. InDeep will also conduct webinars, create and distribute newsletters, and launch a new Embedding Equity series for senior managers at foundations.

Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support
The Institute for Strategic and Equitable Development (ISED) provides support to nonprofits addressing issues of racial equity and justice. This support will enable ISED to work on racial equity and justice issues related to the environment, reproductive health, and economic mobility.
for enhancing the diversity of climate and conservation boards
The Institute for Strategic and Equitable Development promotes impactful grantmaking, investments, and economic development for communities of color. Because inclusive environmental organizations can more effectively build authentic, reciprocal relationships with diverse partners and local communities, this grant supports the institute’s work with partners Keecha Harris and Associates, InPartnership Consulting, and Ali Webb Strategies to empower climate and conservation organizations to build inclusive boards and leadership teams, and support a network of Black leaders for nonprofit board service via an InDEEP Initiative recruitment program.
