This is meant to help us understand the make-up of our organization and how we match up with other leaders when it comes to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The summary of this information (no IDs) is also commonly requested from funders, so having the most up to date information is always necessary. This information is voluntary, the distribution limited, and reported in aggregate not tied to any individual. The intention of this or any self ID is inherently limiting, and does not allow people to express every aspect of their identity because we are all more complex than that or what’s noted on any piece of paper.
