The Greenlining Institute, a Berkeley-based think tank, has conducted a study of inequities in foundation giving to minority-led nonprofits. Part I of "Fairness in Philanthropy" finds that top independent and community foundations awarded only three percent of total grant dollars to minority-led nonprofits in 2002. Part II of the study examines the effect of foundations' diversity practices and policies on giving priorities.
