The Racial Equity in Education Review Panel is the Racial Equity Seed Fund’s external grant recommendation committee, consisting of 12 educators, BPS administrators, community organization leaders, higher education partners, and EdVestors board members who volunteer their time and expertise to participate in the annual proposal review process. Panel members work with EdVestors staff to independently review proposals, discuss them as a group, and recommend initiatives to move forward in EdVestors’ grant selection process. The panelists provide EdVestors with diverse perspectives to inform our grantmaking decisions. Thank you to the 2021-2022 Racial Equity in Education Review Panel members:
