Inclusiveness at Work: How to Build Inclusive Nonprofit Organizations

Inclusiveness at Work: How to Build Inclusive Nonprofit Organizations includes 218 pages of narrative, 220 pages of worksheets, and 35 pages of appendices (originally published in 2005; as of Octbober 2012, no longer available in hard copy, but available in PDF version and as part of the Inclusiveness Initiative door on this website).

The workbook includes:

• An assessment to help you determine your organization's readiness to take on inclusiveness work.
• Definitions of inclusiveness and of inclusive organizations.
• Information about the benefits of being inclusive with numerous worksheets to support your organization in articulating benefits of being inclusive that are specific to your organization.
• Download complete PDF version. (NOTE: The original workbook was divided into 18 modules of content. The content in the modules has been re-configured on this website into topical categories, sothere is no mention of the term "module." But in the downloaded PDF version, the content retains its modular organization.) In late 2009, we made substantive changes in the content of Step 3 (Making the Case). We encourage you to print off the new narrative and worksheets. You can find these materials at www.nonprofitinclusiveness.org/step-3-making-case. In 2010, we added more information to Step 3 (Information Gathering). Click here for that additional content.
