Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion:

The IU Foundation believes that our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion is vital to accomplishing our mission. You can read the IU Foundation's statement on diversity, equity, and inclusion here.

As a leader amongst our peers, the IU Foundation and Indiana University established the Black Philanthropy Circle in 2018 and the Queer Philanthropy Circle in 2019 to ensure underrepresented student and alumni populations are represented, honored, and heard.  These groups were able to build upon the successful model established by our Women’s Philanthropy Leadership Council, founded ten years ago.

From a staffing and talent management perspective, the IU Foundation focuses its work in the areas of diversity, equity and inclusion by designing, delivering, and championing programs and strategies that raise awareness, address barriers, and foster inclusion.   Through the IU Foundation's talent acquisition and learning and development functions, staff are engaged directly in planning and programming efforts while opportunities to enhance our infrastructure are also proactively assessed.
