The DiversityInc Foundation

Our Mission
The mission of the Foundation is to fund scholarships for financially disadvantaged students. It is our goal to donate at least 2 percent of DiversityInc Media LLC’s gross revenue via the DiversityInc Foundation.

Our Programs
We currently serve three schools Bennett College for Women (a historically black college), New Jersey City University (a Hispanic-serving institution and minority-serving institution) and Rutgers University. Mr. Visconti is a trustee of Bennett College and on the foundation board of NJCU.

Current programs are:

  • Bennett College for Women, Greensboro, N.C.: DiversityInc Foundation has an endowed scholarship and adds to that endowment. Mr. Visconti has been a trustee for eight years and is chair of the audit committee.
  • New Jersey City University, Jersey City, N.J.: DiversityInc Foundation has an endowed scholarship for students with an interest in media and business. Mr. Visconti has been a board member for five years and is on the audit and real estate committees.
  • Rutgers University, DiversityInc Foundation has endowed scholarship through the Education Opportunity Fund (one scholarship each in Newark and Camden) . DiversityInc also has a DiversityInc endowed scholarship. In addition, we donate unrestricted funds to various  programs and are funding two research projects.

Additional scholarships are funded through the UNCF and NSHMBA. DiversityInc has been listed as a million dollar donor to the UNCF.

Administrative Overhead
The DiversityInc Foundation has no administrative overhead (zero). Nobody draws a salary from the DiversityInc Foundation.

DiversityInc Media LLC donates all administrative support/salaries, legal fees, accounting fees, office space and materials to the DiversityInc Foundation. One hundred percent of donated funds (speaking fees or other donations) go directly to our schools, which administer the scholarships.

Speaking Engagements
The DiversityInc Foundation raises money primarily through Luke Visconti’s speaking-engagement fees. Here is a link to Luke’s bio.

We also accept direct corporate donations. Donations may be directed at a specific area of concern and DiversityInc Foundation will channel the funds to the best program at one of the schools we support.
The DiversityInc Foundation does not sponsor events or fund research and does not directly administer or grant scholarships.
