Inclusion & Belonging Leadership Curriculum for Nonprofit Boards

Each lesson is structured as a 20-minute session to be delivered over the course of one year with clearly defined learning objectives, content, activities, and discussion prompts. By investing time and energy into this curriculum, you are laying the groundwork for a more equitable and inclusive future. Together, we can create stronger organizations and communities where everyone feels like they belong.
Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI)
The Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) is a powerful tool that supports nonprofit leaders, staff, and boards in deepening their intercultural awareness and competence. By offering both individual and group profile reports, the IDI delivers meaningful insights into how people experience and navigate cultural differences in their day-to-day interactions whether with clients, community members, or colleagues. These profiles combine valid quantitative data with reflective qualitative feedback, helping organizations better understand their current capacity for inclusion and equity.
More than just an assessment, the IDI provides actionable results that lead to real growth. For individuals, a customized Intercultural Development Plan (IDP) offers structured activities and guided reflection designed to strengthen cultural competence over time. At the organizational level, IDI group results can inform professional development efforts, shape team priorities, and support more inclusive practices across departments. This tool serves as a critical step in building a mission-driven culture that is responsive to and reflective of the diverse communities nonprofits are called to serve.
