Hilton Foundation
An Inclusion Lens: We are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion as core principles interwoven throughout the fabric of the foundation and as a lens that guides us both internally and in how we do our work. With an understanding that the most vulnerable communities are those disproportionately impacted by systemic barriers and forms of oppression, we strive to elevate the voices of those impacted by systemic disparities across race, gender, and class lines to support long-lasting social change. Fundamental to our approach is making sure that people with lived experience are at the center of collaborative efforts to improve systems. We seek to learn from and continue to adapt on these principles as part of an ongoing journey.
Melville Charitable Trust
https://melvilletrust.org/about/our-values/
Homelessness is disproportionately experienced by people of color. We see this as an outgrowth of laws, policies, and practices—both current and historical—that result in inequitable access to housing, health care, and economic opportunity. We believe achieving an end to homelessness in America is directly tied to our collective success in addressing the inequities that fuel its growth.
We commit to incorporating an equity lens into all aspects of our work, with a focus on erasing disparities in opportunities and outcomes and advancing just and fair inclusion in a society in which everyone can participate and prosper.

Tipping Point Community
Tipping Point is adopting a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) framework across all areas of our work, including grantmaking, investment strategies, management assistance, impact and learning, donor engagement, events, external communications, and internal operations and culture. We commit to building practices, programs, and strategies that confront inequality and racial bias within our own organization, and in partnership with others. We define diversity, inclusion, and equity as follows: Diversity is a current or future state where a wide range of ethnic, racial, and other backgrounds exist within our organization and partnerships. It is the presence of individuals from various backgrounds and/or various identifies represented at the staff, board, leadership council, donor, partner, and grantee levels. Inclusion is an active and intentional process to bring the perspectives and contributions of our diverse community to the table. It incorporates multiple needs, assets and perspectives into the design and implementation of processes, policies, activities and decision-making so that the aforementioned group of diverse people are heard and valued within the organization. Equity is our ultimate goal and means that Tipping Point is a diverse and inclusive community in which everyone receives what they need to participate, prosper, and develop to their full potential. Equity is an aspirational outcome that binds all of our work together.
United Way Worldwide
United Way strives to be a model of diversity and inclusion. Our Board of Trustees, staff and volunteers reflect the many faces, cultures and walks of life that proudly make up our world. We respect, value and celebrate the unique attributes, characteristics and perspectives that make each person who they are. We also believe that bringing diverse individuals together allows us to collectively and more effectively address the issues that face our communities. It is our aim, therefore, that our partners, strategies and investments reflect these core values. Statement of Principle More than 125 years ago, the diverse community leaders who founded United Way crossed cultural, religious and economic boundaries to make a difference through collective action. Today, diversity and inclusion remain vital to achieving our mission, living our values and advancing the common good. United Way fosters and promotes an inclusive environment that leverages the unique contributions of diverse individuals and organizations so that we can collectively and effectively create opportunities for a better life for all.

Diversity and inclusion are at the heart of what it means to LIVE UNITED.
