OUR ENDURING COMMITMENTS

ZSR has three enduring commitments as part of our All For NC Framework for Grantmaking and Learning.

1

Using A Racial Equity Lens

Rather than isolating racial equity as a standalone project or area of focus, we seek to incorporate a formal racial equity lens in all of the work that we do. The Foundation also will be working with a consultant or consulting team to support us in further designing and operationalizing our racial equity commitment both internally, within the Foundation, and externally across our diverse cohort of State-Level Systemic Change grantees, to continue to strengthen our capacity and their capacities for incorporating a racial equity lens into all of our work.

BEING A LEARNING ORGANIZATION

We embrace learning models that allow us to focus not simply on outcomes, but also on how and why those outcomes occurred and what meaning can be gleaned from that analysis.

Augmenting our Participation in our Hometown of Winston-Salem/Forsyth County

We are striving to become more involved as active members of our community—joining important conversations and contributing our knowledge, experience, voice, connections and resources to forward-thinking change. Examples of our recent local activity include supporting Youth Grantmakers in Action, Neighbors for Better Neighborhoods Grassroots Grants Program, Age-Friendly Forsyth, the 2019 National Black Theatre Festival, and serving on the board of the Boston-Thurmond Community Network.
