Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Assessment

inclusivity

NYCON, and our affiliate BoardStrong, is pleased to partner with the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) to provide an online self-assessment tool related to diversity, equity, and inclusion practices.  This assessment tool was developed and piloted by MNA with input from experts and practitioners in the field. Please note that the assessment results and recommendations will come directly from MNA. If you are in need of additional support, including advice and consultation, NYCON’s staff and team of experts can help you determine how best to proceed.


We believe that it is imperative that our state’s nonprofits strive to reflect the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion in their governance and operations. This self-assessment tool gets your nonprofit started on this journey by providing detailed analysis as to your current status in this regard along with helpful recommendations to guide future progress. In addition to the findings report and recommendations, you will receive an assessment score that provides an overall rating or general indication of your nonprofit’s current status.

The tool surveys both board members and staff. When reviewing the results and interpretations, please keep in mind that this topic is very complex, evolving, and that nonprofits will move back and forth along a continuum of best practices. For this reason, we offer you the opportunity to review your results and consult with one of our team of experts.
