The Coalition for Racial & Ethnic Equity in Development
Make a difference today—support our mission for a more just and inclusive world.
The Coalition for Racial & Ethnic Equity in Development (CREED) is a collective of global and domestic development and humanitarian assistance organizations based in the United States committed to building racial and ethnic equity (REE). We pledge to advance racial and ethnic diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging within our own organizations’ policies, systems, and culture in keeping with attainable and measurable goals; and work to instill REE in the development sector.
In 2021, a diverse group of development leaders came together with a shared belief: racial and ethnic equity is essential to building a just and effective global development sector. From that vision, CREED — the Coalition for Racial and Ethnic Equity in Development — was born.
Launched in early 2022, CREED has grown into a trusted learning hub and bold community of action. Over 100+ organizations have signed on to our mission: to create shared responsibility for equity through learning, dialogue, and practical tools that drive measurable change.
Create transformational awareness, knowledge, and responsibility for advancing racial and ethnic equity in the global development sector.
CREED exists to drive racial and ethnic equity within international development and humanitarian organizations. We are committed to transforming policies, cultures, and systems through collaboration, learning, and accountability—building workplaces and sectors where diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are non-negotiable.
To inspire and transform the world by valuing and advancing racial and ethnic equity.
CREED is a trusted and knowledgeable source with the exclusive purpose and a collective commitment to advance racial and ethnic equity (REE) in the US-based global development ecosystem. Building on its REE pledge which is endorsed by over 130 organizations, CREED creates awareness, builds peer to peer learning, and convenes the community to share approaches and experiences for operationalizing REE.
Equal Space For Every Creed and Race
CREED is led by its Executive Director Sadaf Chaudhry MD MSPH, Sadaf is an Executive Healthcare Leader with decades of experience and a proven background in both global and domestic healthcare and development.
At a time when equity and inclusion are under attack, our mission doesn’t stop. We evolve, we strategize, and we build the kind of development sector that works for all of us.
