Staff Demographics
Staff Demographics
Our mission statement puts justice first, as do we. We are guided by the Just Imperative, a framework that lays out the rationale, the mandate, and the charge to lead with a commitment to justice. We aim to live our values and our commitment to justice begins with our staffing and operations.
We have a total of 194 Foundation Staff, of which 181 are located in the U.S. There are 11 total members of the Board of Directors.
Our Commitment to Diversity
We actively seek a diverse staff. We benefit as individuals, and the work is better because of our staff’s diverse backgrounds, viewpoints, and lived experiences. We value diversity at all levels, and we continually challenge ourselves to reflect this value in our actions. Diversity includes but is not limited to race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identification, experience, ability and disability, age, religion, geography or national origin, ideology, and perspective. The following charts include data of Staff and Board members by Sex & Gender, Race & Ethnicity, Disability, and LGBTQ+ identities.

✏️Disability
As with our 2020 and 2021 demographic data, less than two percent of staff disclosed a disability. Due to low participation in this part of our staff survey, we are not disclosing disability data by job classification to protect staff anonymity. As we continue to collect staff demographic data in the future, we hope to share this important data more fully.
