Nonprofit Learning Lab

We have some great workshops happening this November! ?? Topics include overcoming communication barriers, how to utilize conflict for good, and how to turn fundraising frustration into dollars in the door! Read our newsletter to explore all the options we have this month!

??MEMBER SPOTLIGHT?? For nearly 30 years, the The Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon (FCCO) has been caring for the region's most vulnerable felines—feral and stray outdoor cats. As a non-profit, high-quality, high-volume spay/neuter clinic, FCCO's mission is to improve the welfare and reduce the population of feral and stray cats through spay/neuter programs and education. Find out more about how we help 7,000 cats per year through our donation-based services and engage the community in offering cats a chance at a better, safer life.

Imagine: Your organization is getting the ball rolling on building strategies and structures around Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Perhaps some initiatives have already been proven successful and the intention now is to solidify and expand this impact. However, your organization isn’t entirely sure how to gain momentum and thoughtfully create and execute a DEI strategy. Many people in your team have expressed their excitement and relief for these initiatives but you’ve also noticed some hesitancy. Some people have said they are unsure about what to think and uncertain about what these initiatives will do. A handful of people have even expressed resentment and are distrusting that these efforts will change anything. There are likely many different perspectives and experiences at this stage. For example, your employees may be asking questions like: ? These trainings/events have been helpful, but what else is my company going to do about this? ? Should DEI be talked about at work? ? Why don’t more people in my organization know about DEI? ? Does this mean we can’t joke around anymore? ? How can I share and be honest about my experience and needs without fear of losing my job? ? How can I be supportive in the best way possible, without seeming condescending, given my privilege? ? Will I ever be able to bring my full-self to work? ? How can I learn about this and talk to my coworkers without potentially offending them? Does this experience sound familiar? It is common in the early stages of DEI implementation to ask these questions.” Here are 5 ways to incorporate DEI within your team environment: 1. Utilize anonymity to create space for more honest input in your process 2. Gauge your team’s current level of psychological safety 3. Include the majority and the margins 4. Have a formal process in place that everyone agrees to hold each other accountable 5. Create a culture of continuous learning Read the full article by The Acacia Company here: https://lnkd.in/gF8v69xS #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion #DEI #Accountability #Trust #TeamBuilding
