You’re probably familiar with the expression DEI: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. But how can you create your own DEI initiative within your nonprofit organization — and why should you? In this webinar, we will discuss the current inequalities in the nonprofit sector, the importance of diversity to effective nonprofit work, TechSoup’s diversity initiatives, and how you can embark on one of your own.

"We are an all-volunteer organization with
limited professional skills. Adobe's donated
technology is helping us present our story to
the public and to lenders in the format of a
much larger organization. With Adobe, we
are able to knock off a few of the "rough
edges" so that our story is front and center
instead of our technological limitations.
Thank you, Adobe!”
