D5 Coalition
D5 is a five-year effort organized by a coalition of foundations and associations to galvanize philanthropy’s work on diversity, equity and inclusion. The coalition leverages the collective knowledge, experience, and action of more than 17 organizations, representing thousands of foundations. Our name “D5” is representative of our aim for significant diversity change in the next five years (2010-2015).
The collaborative builds on the achievements and lessons learned from the highly successful but short-termed Diversity in Philanthropy Project, which ended in 2009. D5 has since consolidated an alliance, strategy, and commitment to further advance field performance in diversity-related issues by 2015. This collaborative envisions a philanthropic sector where foundations draw on the power of diverse staffs and boards to achieve lasting impact, forge genuine partnerships with diverse communities, and increase access to opportunities and resources for all people.
