Make A Difference With Us
Committed to Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are essential, interdependent elements of everyday life within CCF. Our pursuit of compassion, dignity, and excellence is deeply connected to our work around DEI. We acknowledge that in order to make meaningful change and have a significant impact, our work must represent and reflect the diversity within Los Angeles County.
Diversity
CCF believes that welcoming differences makes us better advocates, employees and leaders. Most importantly, it makes us better people!
Diversity includes characteristics of age, color, disabilities/abilities, ethnicity, gender, gender expression, gender identity, migratory status, national origin, race, religion, political affiliation, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background and veteran status. It also incorporates distinctions in backgrounds, beliefs, ideas, thoughts and values.
Equity
In establishing and maintaining an environment where equity and mutual respect are embedded in our everyday life, we believe we will be a success-oriented, collaborative, and compassionate group where people thrive.
Equity requires working from a place of integrity, impartiality and objectivity. We further strengthen our work by ensuring that access to opportunities and resources are provided to all staff and residents of Los Angeles County, regardless of their background or beliefs.
Inclusion
CCF understands the importance of inclusion and works hard to respect everyone, acknowledge and value differences, and leverage those differences to strengthen our intellectual capital. We strive to foster a culture in which every member of our circle feels valued, supported and inspired to achieve individual and common goals.
Our Guiding Principles
- CCF’s mission, purpose and vision are best fulfilled when it incorporates diversity, equity, and inclusiveness as core values.
- The future of our work and success depends on our willingness and ability to include emerging, as well as historically marginalized people and perspectives into our funding, programs, grantmaking, and operations to meet current and future demands.
- All of our work and success relies on our individual and collective ability to build authentic and trusting relationships and partnerships both internally and externally.
- We affirm the dignity and worth of all staff and persons in Los Angeles County regardless of their diverse backgrounds and experiences.
- We ensure an anti-bias environment by assessing foundation culture and addressing issues of equity and inclusiveness in grantmaking, donor cultivation and services, investments, programs and hiring practices.
- We value all nonprofit organizations and partnerships, recognizing differences in ideologies and approaches to problem-solving as well as their experiences in working with people of all backgrounds.
- We comply with local, state and federal laws that promote diversity, equity and inclusion.
CCF believes that by promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in our work and in our hearts, we will strengthen communities and build a brighter future for staff, stakeholders and residents of Los Angeles County, regardless of our human differences.
