Leading by Example: East Bay Community Foundation

In May 2004, CCFY published a six-page report, "Leading by Example: East Bay Community Foundation." The report is the foundation's "first person" assessment of experiences, accomplishments, challenges and learnings at the end of 20 months of involvement in the Leading By Example initiative.

Leading By Example (LBE) was designed to create an internal change process in four community foundations to increase their capacity to model equity, diversity and inclusive practices in their organizational structures and day-to-day operations. The East Bay Community Foundation (EBCF) was one of the four participating foundations in the initiative, which was launched in January 2002.

CCFY coordinated the effort with technical assistance from California Tomorrow, an Oakland-based nonprofit organization working to help build a strong, fair, multicultural society. The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation provided generous financial support for this initiative.
