Our Focus on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion 

WGC’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Focus

We are enhancing our core values to better meet our mission by implementing a diversity, equity and inclusion lens to all of our work, led by WGC’s DEI Committee co-Chairs Hina Naseem and Judy Smith.

• We are proud to be among a group of giving circles across the country that are investing in DEI.
• We’ve received national and local funding from the Gates Foundation-backed Philanthropy Together effort, and from the Horizon Foundation.
• We are collaborating with giving circles regionally and countrywide.
• We are actualizing our DEI efforts through a measurable action agenda, with a goal to ensure all WGC activities reflect the organization’s DEI commitment in practice, policy and governance.

The DEI Committee’s action agenda has two tracks:

• Track 1 – Learn and Reflect
• Track 2 – Act and Dive Deeper
