A Culture of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

As an employer, McKnight has the opportunity and responsibility to embed equity across our policies and practices—in how we hire, train, develop, and support our teams, and in how we craft our culture as an organization.

President Tonya Allen heads a majority women, majority people-of-color senior leadership team. In addition, we have increased diversity at every level and in every department across the Foundation. This didn’t happen by chance. It required actively recruiting candidates from a variety of backgrounds and valuing their skills and lived experiences in addition to specific academic degrees or other formal credentials.

Our team has a wealth of diversity in perspectives, backgrounds, and lived experiences to advance the Foundation’s mission.

Staff Diversity at McKnight Foundation

As part of the Foundation’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, we offer data about how our staff members identify themselves in terms of race, gender, and sexual orientation.

The first chart shows the racial composition of our staff relative to the Twin Cities metro area population. The second and third charts show how staff members identified themselves in terms of gender and sexual orientation.
