Diversity & Equity

As part of our ongoing initiative to work towards a diverse and equitable cultural workforce, we worked with the research firm Ithaka S+R with support from the Mertz Gilmore Foundation and Rockefeller Brothers Fund to conduct a survey of our recent grantees. In order to work towards implementing strategies and programs to promote equity in the cultural workforce, we need to understand where we stand as a sector.

Ithaka S+R collected demographic data on race/ethnicity, gender, disability, age, job type, and level of seniority from 987 organizations.

The complete survey findings are available on Ithaka S+R’s website.
