I took a look at the annual reports of the ACM's Diversity and Inclusion Council going back to its founding. Let's see how much ACM, an organization with $211,000,000 in assets and $10,000,000 in annual income is spending on this:
- FY24: $0
- FY23: $50,000
- FY22: $50,000
- FY21: $0
- FY20: $0
And where did those $50,000 budgets go? Marketing. To add diverse stock photos to "embed a DEI lens within current ACM communications", to "build ACM DEI Marketing Website Content Strategy" and "for targeting diverse nominations" for ACM's existing awards.
