• Resources that funders recommend organizations explore;
• What funders are looking for – examples of who’s doing it well;
• Action steps NPOs can take to advance DEI – and meet funders’ requests for progress;
• How to measure your DEI efforts – and tell the story to funders;
• How to get support for the DEI work you want to do.
