Transparent communication is a value that many nonprofit teams value. In times of prosperity, calm teams have plenty of time to craft thoughtful messages to stakeholders.

Nonprofits can – and should – be advocates for their missions and for the communities they serve.

- The Next Dimension of Equity: Including People with Disabilities as Part of Nonprofit Diversity Work
Disability is a social construct defining what is "normal" and what is not. For organizations already building an understanding of race, gender, and other social constructs and their consequences, this webinar offers a framework to help leaders consider disability in equity planning and identify ways their nonprofit can better include people with disabilities on its staff and board, and among its target population.
