Request for Proposals: Racial Equity Consultant

The Katz Amsterdam Foundation (KAF) requests proposals for a Racial Equity Consultant to support its five-member team and members of the board to devise and implement policies, practices, and organizational behaviors that foster authentic racial equity in the foundation’s funding approach and within the organization. At the end of this process, the foundation hopes to be better positioned, internally and externally, to address systemic injustice and the root causes behind racial gaps in health and well-being. The foundation anticipates this work will take place over three to four months.

Foundation staff and board are committed to these efforts and currently engaged in conversations about racial equity, including hosting monthly internal meetings to discuss related topics. At this point in the team’s journey, the foundation seeks outside support from a Consultant to gain a shared understanding of racial equity and the impact of systemic inequities across our society, and ultimately, how the foundation engages and supports its community. The foundation also hopes to establish norms for collaboration and partnership among its staff and board for the team’s ongoing racial equity work.
