Though conversations around diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) are essential to cultivating an inclusive work environment, talking about things that make us uncomfortable can be challenging.
In this guide by Bonterra Donor Engagement's Guided Fundraising solution (formerly Network for Good), we outline a set of grounding agreements, or tenets all participants agree to follow surrounding any discussion around diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. These agreements serve as guideposts, ensuring everyone is on the same page to facilitate positive, open, and honest conversations that work to create a more equitable environment for all.
