Diversity Task Force

Diversity Task Force Christine Do June 8, 2021

The Diversity Task Force's Mission is to create a diverse and inclusive environment for Nonprofit Resources and our clients.

The Nonprofit Resources (NPR) Diversity Task Force has been established to develop resources and action steps for our company, clients, and network to put words into action. We are proud of the growing diversity within our team and our client organizations.

To achieve our mission of “helping nonprofits succeed”, the Diversity Task Force aims to leverage our diverse backgrounds and experiences to establish a framework for organizational culture. Also, we examine diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEIA) in our policies, procedures, and practices. It is our commitment, at every stage of organizational growth, to continue these aforementioned diversity efforts and articulate our Core Values.

This shows that those outside of the heteronormative culture in many offices struggle to find authenticity with colleagues.

But RACISM. That’s more than an issue.  It’s more than a word. Read More.
