A group of business people sit in a row in a training class. They look at an unseen speaker as they concentrate on his lecture.

This comprehensive resource helps grantmakers identify and mitigate unconscious biases in their decision-making processes. The guide covers a range of topics, including how biases can affect grantmaking outcomes, common types of biases, and practical strategies for reducing bias. It also provides examples of how grantmakers can create a more inclusive and equitable grantmaking process by promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Grantmakers can gain a deeper understanding of how biases can impact their decision-making and implement effective strategies to reduce them, ultimately leading to more equitable and impactful grantmaking practices.
