ABOUT
Jordan Curry Carter (MPH, CSCS) (they/he) is an anti-racist practitioner working with individuals and groups on racial equity knowledge, strategic guidance, and implementation. Jordan comes to this work with experience in government, philanthropic, and non-profit sectors.
Jordan is a current member of the Board of Instigator at the Diverse City Fund (DCF) -- a community-led grantmaking foundation that supports changemakers, movement builders, and community organizers of color by offering capacity building support to grantees and creating networking and learning opportunities for our communities. Moreover, their former organizing home was Black Youth Project 100, a Black youth collective that organizes through a Black, Queer, Feminist lens to end systems of anti-Blackness, and works to actualize justice and freedom for all Black People.
Currently, Jordan is a Program Officer at the Horning Family Foundation -- a DC-based foundation that partners with organizations and community-led efforts to strengthen the movements for individual and institutional change that build power, transform systems, and achieve racial justice and equity.
Previously, Jordan worked at the junction of racial equity, public health, and food policy at the national and local levels. During their tenure as a Program Manager on the Race, Equity, And Leadership (REAL) team at the National League of Cities (NLC), they work with local elected officials to build equitable communities where everyone can thrive regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation and identity, ability, class, and/or age. The methods for advancing this work included facilitating racial equity training with elected officials and city government staff, providing technical assistance, building national standards, and convening leaders from multiple municipalities to share promising policies, practices, and procedures. They have also worked at the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (Department of Agriculture), DC Greens, and DC Central Kitchen, building trust and relationships with community members while advancing food justice. Jordan has a Bachelor’s in Kinesiology from Whittier College and a Master’s in Public Health Nutrition from George Washington University.
They are a lifelong learner committed to changing institutional policies, practices, and procedures with an intersectional equity lens that allows individuals, families, and communities to thrive.
