Strategies are the approaches (broad categories of activities) that lead to desired program outcomes, which contribute to community impacts. The strategies you choose help answer the question, “Where are you focusing your efforts?” with a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) lens. This is a helpful question to ask when you are planning, implementing, and evaluating your efforts – whether you are creating a new program, writing a grant proposal, developing a strategic plan, fine-tuning a budget, strengthening a partnership, developing a new policy, or giving grants or donations to community-based organizations.

 Like an “a la carte” menu at a restaurant, you can pick multiple strategies that match your goals and interests.
