Racial Equity

Intentional & Accountable Leaders

The Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa is committed to being a intentional and accountable leader, taking bold action to remove barriers to racial equity in the communities we serve. We will accomplish this through funding, collaborating with, and amplifying our equity partners to create opportunities for everyone to thrive.

Funding

The Community Foundation uses our financial resources to support organizations acting for racial equity and strengthening minoritized communities. We have established the CFNEIA Racial Equity Fund, a resource for projects moving our communities toward racial equity.

Collaborating

We are a lead partner in Advancing Equity in the Cedar Valley, a community collaboration working to create a Cedar Valley where all people want to live, feel welcome, and have opportunities to thrive.

Amplifying

As a community leader, we use our platform to amplify lived experiences and share stories of nonprofits and individuals leading equity conversations. We are here to spread positive messages of transformational change.

We’ve created a directory of nonprofit organizations led by Black, Indigenous, or people of color (BIPOC) to help you find and learn about groups doing this important work across our region.
