Our Statement on Equity, Diversity + Inclusion

​

FPC recognizes that oppression is easily replicated within the non-profit field, despite an organization’s stated mission, vision, and values. As such, the agency is committed to the ongoing process of evaluating, and implementing policies, procedures, and practices to ensure FPC is empowering, uplifting, and centering clients, staff, and community partners of historically marginalized identities within groups such as but not limited to: race, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, class/socioeconomic status, age, ability, religion, native language, immigration status, and ethnicity.

​

FPC acknowledges that an equitable present and lasting future requires conscious action from all of us, and an awareness that these actions are intrinsic to achieving our mission, upholding our values and supporting the health and well-being of our community.

​

FPC denounces any form of racism or discrimination as it inhibits access to care and threatens the dignity of those we serve. We will continue to work with community partners, advocates, clients, funders and vendors to strengthen our programs through this lens, ensuring our services contribute to an equitable society.
