The Center for Inclusion & Belonging helps communities understand, measure, and strengthen belonging. Through research, storytelling, partnerships, and practical tools, we equip local leaders to build stronger relationships, foster civic participation, and create communities where everyone feels they belong.
Research
We help communities measure belonging and understand where opportunities exist. Through national research, local data, and practical tools, we equip leaders with insights they can use to strengthen civic participation and community connection.
Activate
Belonging grows when people take action. Through national campaigns and strategic partnerships, we help shift narratives, inspire welcoming behaviors, and encourage communities to create places where everyone feels they belong.
Convene
Lasting change happens through collaboration. We bring together cross-sector leaders, practitioners, and community partners to share ideas, learn from one another, and advance practical strategies that strengthen belonging across communities.
Equip
Communities need practical tools to turn ideas into action. We support local leaders with grant funding, coaching, technical assistance, and resources that help them build stronger connections, foster belonging, and share what works with others.
