Grant Programming

East Bay Community Foundation’s grantmaking and programmatic work are guided by our core values of equity and building community leadership. EBCF employs an ecosystem approach to grantmaking, where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Our grantmaking and programs are organized around four broad strategies which together will move us toward the vision of a Just East Bay:

- Community Organizing and Social Movements
Strong social justice movements are critical drivers of change. No one organization will achieve a Just East Bay alone. We pay attention to ecosystems and prioritize naturally occurring, community-driven collaborations that leverage greater power to make change, as well as organizations that provide “movement infrastructure,” policy, research, and communications.

- Fostering New Economic Models
EBCF addresses racial economic inequities in our region by supporting entrepreneurship and business ownership as pathways to wealth building, workers rights and protections, and investing our assets toward impact.

- Cultural Strategies for Social Change
EBCF’s arts and culture grantmaking supports organizations and projects that promote resistance, resilience, healing and community building through arts, culture, and other creative expressions.

- Capacity Building for Community Transformation

Population(s) Served
Adults
Economically disadvantaged people

Equity strategies

Last updated: 05/10/2021

GuideStar partnered with Equity in the Center - an organization that works to shift mindsets, practices, and systems to increase racial equity - to create this section. Learn more

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
  • We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
