Staying the Course: DEIB in a Changing Landscape

DEIB work has faced real pressure this year — funding shifts, public scrutiny, and organizations rethinking what’s sustainable. But the data tells a more nuanced story than the noise around it. The 2026 Nonprofit Organizational Health Study found that 67% of organizations made no changes or only minor adjustments to their DEIB programming despite a harder funding and regulatory environment, while only 13% have paused or stopped this work altogether. Join us for a live conversation on what’s actually happening with DEIB on the ground: where organizations are holding steady, where they’re pulling back, and what’s at stake for the communities they serve either way. This conversation is designed for executive directors, DEI practitioners, board members, and anyone navigating how to sustain equity commitments through a changing landscape.
