The Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP) values and respects diversity. We view individual differences as assets that promote the growth and success of AHP’s goals, its members, and the healthcare philanthropy profession. We’re committed to more deliberately encouraging, supporting, and recognizing diverse individual viewpoints and contributions in AHP’s work and creating a culture of belonging for everyone who is a part of AHP. Coming out of the work of the 2021 DEIB Task Force were several recommendations, among them to continue the work of the group, but with new areas of focus. As a result, we will convene four groups under the banner of the DEIB Task Force, with the following goals for the calendar year 2022:
The goal for this group is to review AHP’s current curriculum and content to ensure inclusive language and diverse examples exist throughout content delivered by AHP and/or by AHP member presenters.
The goal for this group is to develop a toolkit to be distributed to the AHP membership to help them better recruit and retain diverse talent.
The goal for this group is to identify and document the leading ethical and inclusive data collection practices with the goal of supporting AHP and our membership as we increase the number of people of diverse backgrounds into the profession of healthcare philanthropy.
The goal for this group is to increase the number of people from diverse backgrounds into the profession of healthcare philanthropy.
