Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access (IDEA)We envision a community where every member, volunteer, and leader can realize their potential and have their contributions valued and heard. Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access (IDEA) are central to our mission to elevate the fundraising profession. In 2018, our board of directors adopted a statement of principles reflecting our efforts to embrace diversity. We are committed to looking inward at our organizational shortfalls to develop strategic ways to support, empower, and uplift our members. Call for Proposals Now Open! We are seeking an experienced DEI consultant that will help guide our local efforts to build an inclusive culture that fosters the cultural advancement opportunities and creates paths of inclusion, diversity, equity (IDEA) and access for local fundraising professionals.
