Top 50 Equitable Funders 2024

 

What you need to know

Canada’s Top 50 Equitable Funders is an annual independent ranking and analysis that has two intentions: First, rigorously analyze, assess and publish the “say-do” gap — the shortfall between what funders want to achieve and what progress they are actually making when it comes to becoming more diverse, inclusive and equitable. And second, celebrate the 50 most equitable funders from across Canada as well as spotlight their approaches and practices through journalistic storytelling for the entire grant making ecosystem to learn.

METHODOLOGY

The vision of Top 50 Equitable Funders is to enable systemic change in the grantmaking landscape over the next decade.

Pursuing this vision requires a strong research methodology—this is where we came in. With expertise and field experience in equity research, QuakeLab led the development of a robust three-stage methodology, including the development of metrics, KPIs, inclusion and exclusion criteria, survey design as well as leading primary and secondary data collection and analysis.
