Case study on the Regroupement DEI Qc – Different perspectives on investments related to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)

Description

Our research focuses on the Grouping of foundations for the deepening of the DEI posture in their organization. Given its emerging character, it is a name of the group that we use to designate a collaboration that has not yet had an official name. The group is made up of five Montreal-based foundations that have come together to collect a set of comparable data related to how the DEI is implemented in their organization.

The central research question is as follows: What lessons can be learned from the emergence process that led to the development and use of a tool for measuring DEI practices developed by the group of foundations participating in the study?

The main objective of the research is to document the reflection and observation of the application of the DEI measurement tool in each of the foundations collaborating in this research. The reflection, led by the professional teams of each of the foundations involved in this collaboration, led to the development of a tool to measure the consideration of the DEI issue in the granting of grants.

The idea, for the professional teams involved, is to be able to quantify the integration of the DEI posture in the grants.
