The Dayton Foundation respects and celebrates our entire community and its important role in creating a better tomorrow for all. The Foundation commits its resources to influence change in ways that signal to groups of all cultures, philosophies and experiences that they are welcome partners in our region.
The Foundation’s mission can best be pursued with staff and volunteers who include individuals of all backgrounds, beliefs and perspectives, which includes, but is not limited to, race, ethnicity, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, economic circumstance, physical and mental abilities and characteristics, and philosophy.
As a community foundation leading positive community-wide change, we are committed to not only creating a team where everyone feels valued, understood and respected, but also embedding practices that create opportunities and access for all individuals across our work and philanthropy at large.
We remain resolute in our commitment to our core values. We firmly believe that these values are integral to the success of our organization, and we are dedicated to anchoring them in our identity — both internally and externally.
