Sounds great!
You can/may write to w3c-ac-forum@w3.org with any hat you wear (I think that any hat is good, but that of chair of the inclusion and diversity CG is the strongest)

Perhaps a post on the W3C Blog at some point (timed with that mail, or staggered) might come a long way too.

We have existing narrative, most recent first: 
* In Jeff’s  post-TPAC CEO blog post, there is a section specific to the Diversity Fund
cf. <https://www.w3.org/blog/2019/09/looking-back-at-tpac-2019-public-release-of-w3c-strategic-highlights/#diversity>
* Jeff’s June 2019 blog post
  <https://www.w3.org/blog/2019/06/diversity-at-w3c-2019-update-launch-of-tpac-diversity-fund/#fund>
* Jeff’s June 2018 blog post
  <https://www.w3.org/blog/2018/06/diversity-at-w3c-launch-of-tpac-diversity-scholarship/#actions>

The largest donation this year was $5,000

We could identify a w3c team contact for this, or use the existing “diversity@w3.org” alias.
That alias reaches Jeff and I from the Team, and the representatives of the Diversity Fund Selection Committee (One person from each of the sponsor organizations; Two people from the W3C team; Two people from the Inclusion and Diversity Community Group (IDCG).)

Note: the composition of the Diversity Fund Selection Committee would typically be updated after amounts are pledged (in other words, the current composition reflects the diversity fund campaign for TPAC 2019)
