Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)
Disability Inclusion and Ableism Awareness
The Disability Inclusion and Ableism Awareness ERG was created to expand awareness of the experiences of people with disabilities and their families, deepening empathy and inclusion in our work and personal lives. We strive to ensure that people with disabilities, their loved ones, friends, and connections have access to the resources they need to participate fully in life. Informed by lived experiences and welcoming allies, we are committed to improving accessibility, reducing barriers, and advocating for equity and inclusivity. This work will enhance the culture of the Foundation for all staff and stakeholders.
Parent Partners
The Parent Partners ERG connects and supports our parenting community. We are partners in parenthood by providing a safe space in which to share the highs and lows of our experiences and by relying on each other as resources for many parenting needs.
Rainbow Connections
Rainbow Connections seeks to build and foster a safe space for the LGBTQIA+ community and allies at our Foundation. Together, we learn and promote awareness about the diversity and intersectional makeup of the LGBTQIA+ community. Rainbow Connections is committed to championing a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging that fully aligns with our Foundation’s mission, values, and goals.

Remote@LPFCH aims to build and foster an inclusive and supportive community for all employees, with a special focus on remote employees and employees working from home as part of a hybrid team.
Committees and Communities of Practice
Foundation committees and communities of practice serve as vibrant hubs for individuals to unite around shared interests, passions, or expertise in a specific area. Within these dynamic groups, collaboration thrives. Members continually learn from one another, tackle challenges together, and collectively elevate our knowledge and skills. Our current committees and communities of practice include:
