Staff
We are a 501(c)(3) recognized non-profit, originally co-founded and incubated by Diversity Focus and West Wind Education Policy Inc. C3E does not have paid employees; rather, we contract with West Wind Education Policy Inc. to design projects, administer project management, fundraise, conduct research and evaluation, and financial management. We further will contract with West Wind and other entities — such as Catalyst Collaborative — to deliver services as needed.
