A group working together on equity building within the organization

The Equity Integration Framework

Align Equity with Your Mission, Strategy & Governance

Take the First Step

Real change doesn’t happen on the surface. It starts at the core.

You’re leading an organization that’s committed to equity but translating that commitment into clear, organization-wide action is complex.

You’ve got competing priorities, multiple stakeholders, and limited capacity. It’s not that equity isn’t important—it’s that without the right structure, it struggles to gain traction. The Equity Integration Framework is built for this challenge.
Designed for senior leaders and executive teams, this program helps you align your people, systems, and strategy—so equity is a core driver of how your organization works, makes decisions, and shows up in the world.

You’ve committed to equity, but turning intention into integrated action across your entire organization feels complex. This framework helps you cut through the noise, align leadership, and build a sustainable, strategic plan that doesn’t just sit on paper, it shapes how your organization works.

A high-impact program that turns equity into an everyday practice, owned and lived across your organization.

Let’s Explore What’s Possible

Who We Designed This Program For

Developed for not-for-profit organizations that are ready to embed equity into the core of how they work, from governance to service delivery, culture to operations.

We work with executive teams, people leaders, equity champions, and cross-functional groups who:

  • Have named equity as a priority, but need a clear, strategic path to make it real across the organization
  • Feel momentum slipping after one-off training or initiatives, and want to build something lasting
  • Experience disconnects between leadership intentions and staff experiences
  • Are navigating competing priorities and need support in integrating equity into planning, decision-making, and accountability
  • Are ready to lead equity efforts with more clarity, confidence, and collaboration, not fear of making mistakes
  • Are committed to meaningful change and know it takes more than good intentions; it takes a plan

Whether you’re in the early stages of embedding equity or refining what’s already underway, the Equity Integration Program helps you align, build, and sustain change from within.

The Equity Integration Program helps your organization:

Build internal systems and practices that make equity real, not reactive
Strengthen decision-making by embedding equity into planning, policy, and accountability
Identify gaps between intention and impact, and close them with practical strategies
Support leaders at all levels to take confident, consistent action
Create the conditions for sustainable, organization-wide change
