As a foundation dedicated to quality education for all students, The Belk Foundation is committed to ensuring our learning and actions uphold diversity, equity, and inclusion. This commitment is critical to deepening our relevance, credibility, and effectiveness, and it will strengthen our mission to improve education for present and future generations.

We seek diversity of thought, background, and experience in those we engage with, learn from, and invest in; policies and practices that provide genuine opportunities for people of all races, cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds to thrive; and an environment where our staff, volunteers, and partners feel valued and respected.
