A National Committee on Responsive Philanthropy survey recommended that the foundation better connect with the communities we served. We launched a new survey campaign in Denver neighborhoods, with volunteers and committee members meeting with community members and former grantees.
Thoughtful changes allowed us to reach communities on a more personal level, viewing residents as assets and listening to their ideas. This work set the stage for deeper diversity, equity and inclusion work, including Strengthening Neighborhoods, the Inclusivity Project, and follow-up research through the Landscape Project.
