Looking for equity-focused, integrated grantmaking frameworks

Hi all.ย  A community foundation client has adopted a new strategic plan that prioritizes equity, justice, and inclusion in its supported region. Their subsequent work has entailed replacing their historically siloed, issue-focused programs with an integrated community grantmaking structure that resources community priorities through direct service, organizing, advocacy, and policy work.ย ย The foundation now hopes to articulate and formalize an integrated grantmaking framework in keeping with its other changes.ย 

Iโ€™mย looking for 1) high-quality examples of integrated, equity-minded grantmaking frameworksย that could be instructive for this partnerโ€™s consideration (all are welcome, but those from community/local foundations are likely most relevant) andย 2) thought literature on key design characteristicsย to keep in mind.ย  Appreciating how busy you all are,ย Iโ€™d be so grateful if you have a moment to send suggestions my way!
