Statement on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

The Benton Community Foundation is committed to developing and maintaining a culture of diversity and equity in its service to Benton County communities. We believe effective development and stewardship of charitable funds depends on trust and understanding among diverse people, and that effective grant support for children and families depends on strategies that are inclusive and intentional, designed to overcome historic inequities and create positive, systemic change. We are committed to improving the well-being and economic resilience of marginalized and underserved people within our communities and to furthering the aspirations of children, youth, and families, so all our neighbors can achieve a brighter future.
