About Our Team

The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Center of Excellence (CoE) is a central functional team made up of experts, specialists, and enabling partners (i.e. analytics, communications, project managers, and external consultants) to provide foundation-wide direction, governance, tools and resources to drive the foundation’s DEI commitment and results.

As a Foundation, we are working toward a future that is more diverse, equitable, and inclusive for all because only through greater diversity, equity, and inclusion — of voices, ideas, and approaches — will we be able to help all people improve their lives.

Leadership and Culture

Our culture shapes our choices about what we do and how we do it. We believe that energized people, working well together, fueled by great leadership in an inclusive environment can do extraordinary things. We expect foundation employees to embody our values of optimism, collaboration, rigor, innovation, and inclusion intentionally and consistently.
