Assessment Tools<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<\/header><\/div>\r\nDiversity Inclusion and Equity Assessment Tool<\/strong><\/a>\r\n\r\nThis tool was designed by the Michigan Non-Profit Association and it is a tool designed to help not-for-profit organizations assess their current status and future progress on the journey to make these values a reality.\u00a0 The assessment was developed with input from not-for-profit experts and practitioners, literature on best practices, and the collective experience of the framing partners. \u00a0The project was piloted in 2016 and feedback from participating organizations was incorporated into the final product. Assessment scores provide a general indication of an organization\u2019s current status. Interpretations should keep in mind that these are complex concepts and all organizations will move back and forth along a continuum of best practices. Costs range from $50 for an individual assessment to $300 for an organizational assessment.\r\n\r\nAdvancing the mission: Tools for equity, diversity and inclusion<\/strong><\/a>\r\n\r\nThis resource was released by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, a US-based entity that focusses on the case study of their own foundation and their own equity, diversity and inclusion work. This toolkit offers encouragement to start where you can, and the hope that those efforts will persist until equity, diversity, and inclusion are all addressed as central to the work. This collection of tools is based on a case example of what one Foundation has undertaken and accomplished because of a growing commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion. As such, it is only one story \u2014 not a prescription.\u00a0 Here you\u2019ll find a description of the concrete steps that have been taken, a little of the back story and challenges of the work, and some tools based on this example that can be adapted for your own organization, if you choose. This is complex work that can only benefit from learning and borrowing from one another.\r\n
