What Diversity Council does
Mission
Our purpose: growing equitable communities rooted in compassion where all facets of human identity are understood and respected, and where every individual acts conscientiously and with courage.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Community mobilization - Diversity Council held structured activities throughout 2022 to engage community in civic life utilizing the community mobilization resource coalition (cmrc) and new community engagement positions within the organization. In the past year, the coalition has worked on providing education, resources, and support for communities regarding covid-19 transitions to "normal" life and projects such as the olmsted county racism as a public health study. Cmrc has worked closely with the city, rochester public schools, county, and county public health to receive information regarding changes in protocols and provide recommendations to fill equity gaps identified by community leaders and members, while also asking questions to gain a better understanding of details. Cmrc also served as community liaisons and aided in hosting public meetings for community members to attend and speak directly with experts and resource connections. Diversity Council also serves as fiscal sponsor to local bipoc-led organizations and initiatives that fit with its purpose and meet state and federal standards.
$2,922 spent100% of program spendingEngagement & education: in 2022, Diversity Council continued to focus efforts on systems change based in community voice utilizing co-design models in policy changes and reviews, programs at large and general organizational efforts and initiatives. Projects included the study of racism as a public health issue, pen works workshops, and city of rochester's dei training for construction companies working within the bloomberg initiative. Other programs included the annual mlk breakfast, honoring the mothers of black and brown victims, "listen. Learn. Act." learning series, and rochester area nonprofit consortium's commitment to racial justice. Diversity Council joined forces with cultural community groups from around the state to focus on cultural integration that will establish, expand, and sustain population-based efforts to mobilize community outreach workers, community health workers, navigators, social support specialists and others to increase equitable approaches to services, policies, and general growth. In addition, Diversity Council continued its work to address vaccine hesitancy in culturally competent ways through federal funding for project healings.
Training & consultation Diversity Council focused on developing shared language around diversity, equity, and inclusion in order to build trusted spaces for transformational conversation and work to take place. In 2022, we built trust and credibility with so many educational and non-profit institutions to propel change and growth. We connected with thousands of employees and more than 1,000 students through virtual and in-person training as well as in direct work with teachers, administration, and student mentors. Training participants' newfound knowledge and perspectives will continue to impact students and families in years to come. 2022 saw the continuation of key educational initiatives across all parts of our region, including significant work in the nonprofit sector, which was underwritten in part by a grant from mayo clinic community engagement. In the public sector work was also done with city and county governments in partnership with southeastern minnesota league of municipalities, underwritten in part by a grant from southern minnesota initiative foundation. In total, more than 80 organizations benefitted from our professional training and consultation across minnesota…
The 3 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $2,922.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $273k to $130k (−53%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 35% · 2018 34% · 2019 34% · 2020 40% · 2021 55% · 2022 74% · 2023 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $20k → $61k.
7 of 15 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 62% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of DIVERSITY COUNCIL’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
DIVERSITY COUNCIL has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 28% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
95% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund DIVERSITY COUNCIL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 33% · 2020 41% · 2021 30% · 2022 30% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
36% of DIVERSITY COUNCIL's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 60% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
62% of DIVERSITY COUNCIL's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $251k that is directly attributable, 96% of it comes from Minnesota funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $401k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
