Tangible Development

At Tangible Development, our commitment to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion has always been at the heart of our work. However, in response to the shifting business and political landscape—including the impact of executive orders and mandates on business sustainability—we have had to make the incredibly difficult decision to reduce our workforce. This was not a decision we made lightly, as we deeply value every team member and their meaningful contributions. As we navigate this transition, we remain dedicated to treating our team with care, respect, and support. Our people are the heart of Tangible Development, and we are providing a six-week notice, severance, and executive coaching to help those affected as they take their next steps. While this change is significant, our mission remains unwavering. We are committed to ensuring continuity for our clients and continuing to guide organizations in building more inclusive workplaces and communities. We are profoundly grateful for our clients' trust, our team's dedication, and our community's ongoing support. Together, we will continue moving forward.

DEI work is a journey, and every organization is at a different stage. Wherever you are, we’re here to help. Whether you're just starting, refining your approach, or looking to measure real impact, Tangible Development provides the tools and expertise to move your DEI efforts forward with confidence. Let’s build meaningful, lasting change—together. #DEI #OrganizationalChange #InclusionInAction #StrongerTogether

DEI work gives nonprofits a strategic advantage. Prioritizing DEI helps organizations: ? Strengthen community trust ? Expand mission impact ? Align actions with core values ? Broaden reach & representation ? Improve staff retention & workplace experience When nonprofits embed DEI values into their work, they build stronger, more effective organizations that truly serve their communities. #DEI #Nonprofits #MissionDriven #EquityInAction

We whole heartedly agree! ???????????? Marlia Fontaine-Weisse, MA, CDP?

During the Persistence in DEI: Sharing Space & Solidarity event, we asked attendees representing 40+ organizations to share their thoughts about this moment in DEI through a survey—and the responses were powerful.? The data showed us that many organizational DEI leaders are feeling sadness and uncertainty about the federal directives regarding DEI work. They are unsure about how to move DEI goals forward and what type of pivots need to happen to continue the work while protecting their organizations. And yet–during our discussions, we heard over and over again a desire to persist and a determination to continue the fight for equity and inclusivity. At Tangible Development, we too feel confusion and uncertainty about the right way to move forward. But one thing we know is true: we will persist. We will not give up. This collective commitment reminds us that while the challenges are real, so is the dedication to building more inclusive workplaces. Let’s keep pushing forward—together. ???? #DEI #Solidarity #Persistence #EquityInAction #InclusiveWorkplaces

This Black History Month, we honor the Black leaders, activists, and visionaries who paved the way for change. Their resilience in the face of injustice was not just courage—it was a commitment to a future they believed in.? Their work challenges us to keep moving forward, to remain steadfast in the fight for equity, and to create spaces where inclusion is more than a word. Let their resilience inspire ours. #BlackHistoryMonth #Resilience #HonoringBlackLeaders
