Resource Guide

Frontline Solutions released the Equity Footprint, a toolkit to help philanthropy assess the impact of a philanthropic organization on communities. The Equity Footprint framework report includes guiding questions in seven different domains to help leaders begin to assess their foundation’s footprint.

First published in 2011, this updated guide from BSR is a response to developments over the last seven years, all of which necessitate a far clearer focus on stakeholder trust by corporations. This report aims to provide a comprehensive toolkit that incorporates the latest thinking while maintaining the clarity and practicality of their five-step approach.

A combination of curated, synthesized, and original content, this library of resources is intended to help foundations and investors at different stages of practice begin to explore the many ways they can grow and deepen their commitments to racial equity and impact investing.
