DEI Commitments

Dei Sponsors Img 1

At FCA, we recognize that diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamental to our mission. Embracing different perspectives fosters innovative solutions to Long Island’s complex societal challenges and enhances our ability to serve a diverse community effectively.

We’ve always infused these values into our internal culture, systems and practices and we haven’t been shy about sharing our commitments publicly. It’s a responsibility all FCA trustees, staff and volunteers share and carry as the humanity of our organization.

What we’ve done – and are doing

  • Learning about different cultures and customs during observance months.
  • Continuously review and update FCA policies and procedures to ensure an inclusive and equitable approach to our work.
  • Partner with health systems and community-based organizations to host year-round wellness fairs, mobile health clinics, educational conferences, screenings and referral programs.
  • Conduct robust social media campaigns to foster both internal and external education and awareness during cultural and societal issue observance months (e.g., Black History month, Women’s History month, Pride month, Gun Violence Prevention month, Hispanic Heritage month, etc.).
  • Expand ongoing staff training/refreshers to foster and improve culture building.
