The Inclusiveness Project is a program of The Denver Foundation, led by a committee of community leaders from throughout the seven-county Metro Denver area.
The mission of the Inclusiveness Project is is to engage with Metro Denver nonprofits, including philanthropy, to become more inclusive of people of color.
The Inclusiveness Project works to build more inclusive nonprofit organizations, increase the number of people of color who get involved in the nonprofit sector, and spread the word about the benefits and importance of nonprofits becoming more inclusive. While the committee and The Denver Foundation recognize that all forms of inclusiveness are essential, the focus of this initiative is on issues of race and ethnicity. |
How does the Inclusiveness Project accomplish its mission?
Inclusiveness Project accomplishes its mission by working at three levels:
> At the sector-wide level, the Inclusiveness Project seeks to promote the value of inclusiveness and diversity through the nonprofit sector.
> At the organizational level, the Inclusiveness Project seeks to give organizations the tools and support they need to build inclusiveness.
> At the individual level, the Inclusiveness Project wishes to increase the "pipeline" of people of color joining nonprofits as board members, staff, volunteers, and donors. |
