Inclusiveness for All of Us operates as a guidebook for nonprofit volunteers and
professionals to enhance inclusiveness in their organizations. Inclusiveness is a long-term operating
philosophy that empowers the voices of organizational stakeholders by
incorporating their views into the organization’s mission and decision-making
processes. The project reviews a
vast array of current literature concluding that inclusiveness benefits
nonprofit organizations by increasing effectiveness in the way they interact
with constituents, improving workplace culture, and opening new avenues for
fundraising as long as barriers can be overcome. From this review the project outlines 10 steps volunteers
and professionals can implement to enhance nonprofit effectiveness. The project ends with a call to action
for nonprofit volunteers and professionals to move their organizations toward
inclusiveness.
