Equity Council

Recognizing the resiliency, tenacity, and talent within Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Immigrant communities and understanding the inequities that exist in community and within philanthropy, Xavier Garcia-Molina created the Equity Fund and Equity Council in partnership with the Lancaster County Community Foundation.

Building upon accessible pathways to systems change, the Equity Council fosters a collaborative and participatory grantmaking landscape where BIPOC communities are equal partners in shaping the solutions to the most pressing societal challenges.  Meet the Equity Council.
