Level Playing Field Institute
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Level Playing Field Institute is a non-profit organization which promotes innovative approaches to fairness in higher education and workplaces. The work of the institute is divided into five key areas: Higher education programs, workplace programs, practical research, awareness campaigns, and strategic funding.
The organization was founded in 2001 by Freada Kapor Klein and Mitchell Kapor, and was initially known as the Institute for Inclusive Work Environments. The focus area of the institute was expanded to incorporate higher education in 2002.
Level Playing Field Institute has several education programs associated with the University of California at Berkeley. Freada Klein was one of several UC Berkeley alumni that founded the IDEAL Scholars Fund for exceptional students of color, now a Level Playing Field Institute program.
