Training for Racial Equity and Inclusion: A Guide to Selected Programs provides an in-depth review and comparison of ten race equity training approaches. The Guide is intended to help community leaders, organizations, policy makers, funders and other stakeholders select and support approaches that best suit their needs and goals. It describes why programs do what they do (theory of practice) and how they believe their approaches will produce positive results. Specifically, it examines how programs understand the sources and dynamics of racial and ethnic oppression and what principles and methods they use to address the problems. In addition, it assesses organizational capacities and the connection between programs’ activities and intended outcomes.

The Nonprofit Diversity, Inclusion and Equity Assessment is designed to help nonprofit organizations assess their capacity and progress in demonstrating best practices in diversity, inclusion and equity. The underlying assumption of this assessment is that all organizations will move back and forth along a continuum of best practices. The framework and the descriptions in the grid were developed based on the input of nonprofit experts and practitioners, literature regarding best practices, and the collective experience of the framing partners
lifecycle and journey towards building and sustaining a diverse, inclusive and equitable
organization. Furthermore, the results of the exercise should be interpreted in the context of the
organization’s stage of development, level of capacity, geographic region, mission area, and
constituency.
