Hello,
My name is Courtney Moore (she/her) and I am a resident of San Luis Obipos City. I am writing to leave a
public comment for the meeting happening today, October 2, 2024, regarding agenda item 5.a 2024-25
DEI HIGH IMPACT GRANT PRELIMINARY FUNDING RECOMMENDATION. I would like to express my
support to fund the Diversity Coalition of San Luis Obispo's funding request for the full amount of
$40,000.
As a non-profit, the Diversity Coalition SLO does amazing work to increase awareness and support Black,
Indigenous and People of Color in our county. They do through this through, events, collaboration and
workshops. I had the honor of attending the BIPOC Board Leadership Training, and it was not only a
healing space, but a vital resource needed for BIPOC folks in the community, and for boards in the
community. Validating and welcoming BIPOC onto boards straightens our community and betters the
efforts of organizations.
The Diversity Coalition SLO does many great things, and every dollar that funds them is an investment in
the future of an anti-racist, humanistic San Luis Obispo.
Thank you for your time,
