Overview
The Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque began to explore equity more deeply as a result of a predicament in the early 2010s: an influx of diverse residents exposed disparities in access to healthcare and other community resources, and gave rise to discrimination. While addressing these issues remains a work in progress, the Foundation has made major strides through such initiatives as Inclusive Dubuque, a network of partners responding to equity challenges; the Community Equity Profile; the Dubuque College Access Network; “Advancing Racial Equity” training sessions for local leaders; and facilitated racial healing conversations.
