Forefront's Racial Equity Collective
Survey is LIVE

Forefront is excited to announce the LAUNCH of our Racial Equity Collective Survey, a statewide outreach to identify the DEI leaders, non-profit + private sector organizations, philanthropic funders, and individuals that are working to change practices, policies, and organizational cultures to advance racial equity in Illinois. Survey results will aid in building a public statewide map + repository of racial equity resources to help you create data driven strategies for access, opportunity, and infrastructure for a more racially equitable Illinois. If you are a nonprofit, a DEI practitioner, or grant making organization in Illinois, we invite you to participate by February 13, 2023.
