Equity In The Center®

Shifting mindsets, practices and systems in the social sector to build a Race Equity Culture™.

Building Race Equity in the Workplace

This publication is the culmination of Equity In The Center research, which illustrates in detail how organizations can move through the Race Equity Cycle® by activating specific organizational levers.

Awake to Woke to Work®: Building a Race Equity Culture™ provides insights, tactics, and practices used by social sector organizations to measurably shift organizational culture, operationalize equity, and move from a dominant organizational culture to a Race Equity Culture™.

Our Vision of the Future

We envision a future where nonprofit and philanthropic organizations are characterized by a Race Equity Culture™, meaning they implement and advance race equity internally while advocating for and centering it in work externally.

To achieve that future, we challenge colleagues to adopt specific tactics on the levels at which racism operates.
