We recognize that the collective sum of our individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, innovation, self-expression, unique capabilities, and talent represent a significant part of our culture, and are fundamental to achieving the Council’s mission. For the charitable sector at large, we also believe that having diverse voices at the table enables better decisions, greater adaptability, and lasting progress on challenges we face. As an organization, the Council will continue to promote diversity in all facets of American life, from culture and political ideology, to race, ethnicity and sexual identity, to geography and worldviews.
