How are organizations across different sectors bringing to life diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) commitments? Some have made monetary contributions, others have prioritized new hiring policies, and some are translating DEIA statements into actionable practices. At Taproot Foundation, a U.S. based nonprofit that partners with companies and nonprofits/charities across the globe to advance resource equity through skills-based volunteerism, we have been in deep discussions on how to embody our DEIA values. Our presentation will share how we are focusing on inclusion practices for our stakeholders and spotlight some examples of how companies have integrated DEIA in skills-based volunteering initiatives.
