Article: Equitable Budgets for Nonprofits

“An equitable and inclusive budgeting process is a year-round process that draws from many of the same organizing and advocacy approaches that nonprofits already use to engage their communities – such as making sure people are informed, able to participate, and valued for their expertise and unique perspectives. ”

    It begins with a vision. A vision to have a thriving, sustainable, mission-centered organization that is filled with people who are inspired and passionate about community.
