Black History Month is a time to honor the incredible contributions the Black community has made throughout history and to take inspiration from those stories to shape a better future. While there is so much to celebrate, we still have a long way to go to reach a more fair and equitable world for everyone — regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, or physical ability. Despite positive progress, inequality is still pervasive throughout our institutions and systems, and nonprofit technology is not exempt.
During the Week of Learning in October 2021, Jessica Hauser, executive director at DBG Detroit, and Makeda Keegan, president of Amplify, came together to discuss equity within nonprofit organizations and the role that technology plays in organizational dynamics. Makeda and Jessica believe that Intra-organization equity — the consideration of all staff needs for individual and organizational success— is the foundation of an organization’s culture and business practices.
