Supporting innovators to create positive social and environmental impact.

Congratulations to Alli O'Connell, Beth Foster-Chao, and Cyrus R. Martin!! As part of our DEI strategy, the Autodesk Foundation redesigned our website to be more transparent, inclusive, and grantee-forward – transitioning from an invitation-only funding stream to a self-nominating process, with details about what to expect within the selection process, average funding, clear criteria, and theories of change. We created custom landing pages to build credibility for early-stage organizations, with innovator-forward content uplifting historically underrepresented leaders. Goals & Objectives: In redesigning our website, we aim to set a new standard for transparency, open-source funding, and grantee-forward content in corporate philanthropy. The redesign is part of our overall DEI strategy to increase funding to a portfolio that reflects the ecosystem's diversity and talent. Results & Impact: Since the website redesign, we have surpassed key DEI targets – 46% percent of portfolio organizations have at least one person of color in the CEO/founder group, a 230% increase over our baseline. Women lead 50%+ of organizations, representing 4% growth over the baseline.
