Diversity Statement

We respect, value and celebrate the unique attributes, characteristics and perspectives that make each person who they are. We also believe that bringing diverse individuals together allows us to collectively and more effectively address the issues that face our communities. It is our aim, therefore, that our partners, strategies and investments reflect these core values.

More than 125 years ago, the diverse community leaders who founded the original Basket of Love crossed cultural, religious and economic boundaries to make a difference through collective action. Today, diversity and inclusion remain vital to achieving our mission, living our values and advancing the common good.

Community Dream Team fosters and promotes an inclusive environment that leverages the unique contributions of diverse individuals and organizations so that we can collectively and effectively create opportunities for a better life for all.

Community Dream Team takes the broadest possible view of diversity, going beyond visible differences to affirm the essence of all individuals including the realities, background, experiences, skills and perspectives that make each person who they are. Engaging the power of diverse talent and partners results in innovative solutions and the community ownership necessary to address complex community issues.

Diversity and inclusion are at the heart of what it means to DREAM BIG.

Community Dream Team is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to the principle of diversity. We therefore:

Value, Champion and embrace diversity in all aspects of Dream Team activities and respect others without regard to race, color, religion, creed, age, gender, national origin or ancestry, marital status, veteran status, sexual orientation or status as a qualified disabled or handicapped individual. We support affirmative action and equal opportunity programs and refuse to engage in or tolerate any form of discrimination or harassment.
