Orange County Grantmakers, in partnership with the League of California Cities and Association of CA Cities OC is pleased to invite you to a facilitated roundtable to discuss the planned 2025 Orange County Equity Profile report.

In 2019, Orange County Grantmakers (OCG), the regional association of funders and philanthropists in Orange County focused on advancing equity for our community, launched the inaugural Orange County Equity Profile in partnership with the USC Equity Research Institute (formerly Pprogram for Environmental and Regional Equity.) This report highlighted key indicators for business, non profit, and government leaders to focus on including workforce readiness, accessibility and housing.

This year, OCG is thrilled to be working with a coalition of business, academic, nonprofit and philanthropic partners including the Orange County Business Council, CEO Leadership Alliance, UCI, Orange Coast College, the Orange County Community Foundation and more to release an updated 2025 Orange County Equity Profile. This report will once again look at key equity indicators in our community and connect this data with local initiatives focused on DEI, housing, homelessness and more.

Working with the team at USC and with our local Advisory Council, OCG invites local elected ofificals and city leaders to a roundtable discussion meant to inform and engage with key business stakeholders before the release of the report in February, 2025. Our goal is to gather key data from city and community leaders about how you see equity impacting decision making. Specifically, we want to learn more about how elected officials and city leader think about equity indicators such as the changing demographics of Orange County, the impact of affordable housing, racial health disparities and income gaps and how they impact our regional economy.
