Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging for Consultants Program

Applications for the 2025 virtual cohort will open at 10:00 AM EST on Monday, May 19, 2025. Please check back then for the application link.

The collective journey to shape organizations, institutions and our society to be more diverse, equitable, and inclusive calls upon practitioners to continue sharpening their knowledge and skills.

Consultants play an important role in shepherding leaders and organizations to employ equitable processes and practices to fulfill their mission-driven work. However, traditional consulting practices have been developed through the lens of a relationship between the “experts” and their clients. This deficit-based mindset employs top-down practices that can perpetuate oppressive power dynamics and devalue the important expertise and wisdom and leadership of the people in the organization and communities.

We aim to shift the dynamic from deficit to asset-based, and help the sector to be more critically conscious, and skillful in equitable processes and practices.

About the Program

The DEIB for Consultants Program was jointly developed and piloted by TSNE and The Institute for Nonprofit Practice. The program is now in its sixth iteration.

The program provides a community of peer learning, teaching, and practice for consultants to hone their knowledge, skills and confidence in integrating holistic equity practices into their work with clients. Together, over the course of eight interactive virtual sessions, participants will build and deepen their competencies and toolbox of approaches for practicing equity in their consultancy. 

We aim to select a diverse cohort with consideration for areas of focus, identities, functional expertise, and professional experience. This cohort will transform your knowledge, skills, network, and confidence, making an immediate positive impact, and serving you for your entire career.

The program is designed for consultants who are: 

  • Practicing consultants in the non-profit sector with four or more years of experience
  • Newer to equity-centered thinking and consulting approaches and want to acquire more language and knowledge 
  • Enthusiastic about deepening the work of nonprofit clients to create more inclusive and equitable organizational cultures 
  • Excited to learn with, and from, peers in a cohort-based experience 
  • Curious and willing to explore topics like the nonprofit industrial complex, systems of oppression and their impact on people and organizations, trauma-informed thinking, nervous system regulation while addressing oppression, etc.
  • Willing to engage in potentially challenging conversations with peers and prepared to learn through self-reflection and introspection

The program honors the following shared values:

  • Community of care
  • Thinking and problem solving together
  • Commitment to collective good 
  • Self awareness and responsibility to the group
  • Beginner’s and learning mindset (grace, gentleness, and patience around learning and making mistakes)
  • Holistic practice/approach (embodiment)

Program Outcomes

  • Deepened analysis of the historical, political, and social context of the nonprofit sector and organizations to ground consulting in equity-based approaches 
  • Further understanding of the role of consultants in modeling and facilitating equity-based practices and behaviors with their clients 
  • Increased awareness of the physiological impact of addressing systemic oppression and inequities and incorporating embodiment lens as a practitioner 
  • Sharpened equity- and justice-based approaches to add to their consulting and facilitation toolbox 
  • Community with a new cohort of fellow practitioners

Program Cost

At TSNE, we believe that everyone, no matter their access to money and wealth, should have the opportunity to participate in our cohort learning opportunities. Committed to accessibility based on socio-economic class, we offer the DEIB for Consultants Program at a sliding scale. You will pay the tuition cost corresponding to your access to money and wealth. The sliding scale is based on an individual’s annual salary, which serves as a guide to help you make an informed decision around the cost you will pay.

The full cost of running the program is $2,500, and with the support of funders, we are able to implement a sliding scale to reduce financial barriers. Costs primarily account for staff labor spent in designing and implementing thoughtful programming. We will not be asking for proof of income, and encourage you to pay the tuition cost based on your salary to help make it possible to run this important program. Payment plans are also available, if needed.  Please email Maya Ludtke at mludtke@tsne.org for more information.

> $151,000 $2,500
$101,000 – $150,000 $2,000
$76,000 – $100,000 $1,000
