About us
We work to shift mindsets, practices, and systems within the social sector to increase race equity. We believe in a future where nonprofit and philanthropic organizations define, implement and advance race equity internally while advocating and centering it in their work externally. OUR VISION We envision a future where nonprofit and philanthropic organizations adopt a Race Equity Culture™ focused on proactive counteraction of social inequities. We must build a future where white dominant culture is dismantled within all social sector organizations, institutional and structural racism have been eliminated at all levels of nonprofit and philanthropic organizations, and race equity has been achieved within organizations, across the social sector, and in communities. OUR BELIEFS We focus on race equity explicitly, as research has demonstrated that doing so drives a measurable shift in equity across a range of intersectional identities (gender, sexuality, ability, et al.). The dominant culture which characterizes American society and, therefore, its nonprofit and philanthropic organizations is inextricably linked to policies and practices that elevate one race above others. This shows up in a myriad of different ways, but persistent racial outcomes gaps in health, income, education, and housing demonstrate structural inequity based on race. By focusing explicitly on race equity, we believe that our efforts will help organizations create race equity cultures within their organizations, and help center race equity work as a core goal of social sector organization's missions.

Building a Race Equity Culture™ is community work. It’s not something one person or department can do on its own. It requires entire coalitions inside the organization to play a critical role. But how do we ensure that these coalitions have the tools they need to create meaningful change? 🤔 As we approach a pivotal moment in our nation’s history, many organizations are pulling back from “DEI” and race equity work, leaving a gap in the resources and tools needed to push for change. Too often, trainings focus exclusively on individuals leaving them uncertain about how to extend their learning to others. 📆 Join us for Equity In The Center’s LinkedIn Live event hosted by Shehnaz Jagpal, Executive Vice President, and Nicola Chin, facilitator for our Organizational Equity Cohort and Founder of Up With Community, for a conversation on building a toolkit that catalyzes coalitions and makes a significant impact on core equity issues. Join us live and bring your questions! #RacialEquity #DEI #WorkplaceCulture #Organizations #Community

In this op-ed, Laura Morgan Roberts flips the script on the "DEI hire" label, arguing that it should be seen as a compliment, not an insult. Diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts don't lower standards—they raise them! 📣 Read the op-ed: https://lnkd.in/epq8U8FA Dive deeper into the "DEI Hire" narrative in our recent LinkedIn Live: https://lnkd.in/dZpQBqzv #DEI #RacialEquity #WorkplaceCulture

Super excited for this next speaker series which features Equity In The Center advisor Trish Adobea Tchume! Register here: https://lnkd.in/enf2vnuK
💻 Join us virtually on August 12 from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. for our speaker series featuring Trish Adobea Tchume, Senior Director of Leadership Research & Practice at Robert Sterling Clark Foundation Inc. Register for the virtual workshop here: bit.ly/sprk24. Trish will share tools and frameworks that help her remain principled and aligned as she navigates volatile settings and challenges. She will also facilitate interactive activities, allowing attendees to leave after identifying some of their guiding leadership principles. “Movements are born of critical connections rather than critical mass.” - Grace Lee Boggs “Hope is a discipline.” - Mariame Kaba “You have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world. And you have to do it all the time.” - Angela Davis While many of us might use these familiar quotes as personal inspiration on our office walls or email signatures, if we know a bit about the incredible leaders who spoke them, they also serve to summarize their entire philosophy of leadership. About the Speaker 💭 Trish Adobea Tchume is a social and racial justice advocate, facilitator, and trainer. Formally, she serves as senior director of leadership research and practice for the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation, where she organizes the foundation’s learning and evaluation practices and connects grantees with emerging leadership approaches that prefigure a world where all of us thrive. Trish Adobea Tchume has spent 25 years training leaders and leading groups and organizations. As her roles and the sociopolitical context in which she holds them have become increasingly complex and high stakes, it has become even more critical to have a practice of continuously naming, grounding, and regrounding in a core philosophy about how she believes change happens and how she wants to show up in her leadership. Trish is a certified coach through Coaching for Healing Justice & Liberation, a first-generation Ghanaian-American, a Brooklynite (by way of Philadelphia), a proud auntie, and a beach stan. She devotes her volunteer time to projects that allow her to practice a thriving future, like the Central Brooklyn Food Coop, the boards of Change Elemental, and the New York Foundation.

President Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for president and it took conservative pundits and the media little time to relentlessly attack Harris on the basis of her race and gender, labeling her a “DEI hire.” This backlash aligns with growing resistance to DEI initiatives, reflected in recent anti-DEI legislation. Unpack the 'DEI Hire' Attacks on Kamala Harris with us in our latest blog post: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dTafPmTv 📅 To delve deeper, join our LinkedIn Live event with EIC President & CEO Kerrien Suarez and EIC cofounders Ericka Hines, JD and Andrew Plumley! https://lnkd.in/dZpQBqzv #RacialEquity #DEI #KamalaHarris #LinkedInLive
