Top 50 Equitable Funders
What if every funder put equity and inclusion at the heart of how they invest and grant?
Top 50 Equitable Funders
What if every funding organization took a page from Canada’s Top 50 Equitable Funders, making equity and inclusion central to their investing and granting practices?
Using rigorous research and analysis, Top 50 Equitable Funders is an independent annual ranking that spotlights grantmakers who are centring and advancing equity, inclusion and anti-racism in their governance, team, investing and grantmaking.
Why it matters
At a time when polarization is rising, hate movements are growing, trust in institutions is declining, and 80% of the Sustainable Development Goals need to get back on track, what if funders were perceived as champions and allies in enabling changemakers and community groups to do their best work?
In today’s funding landscape, that means leading with equity.
Celebrating the Top 50 Equitable Funders isn’t just about recognizing their progress; it’s about envisioning a future where equity isn’t aspirational but core to every act of grantmaking and investing, driving meaningful lasting change for generations to come.
Congratulations to the Top 50 Equitable Funders for inspiring everyone to #LeadWithEquity.
