Anti-racist organizational change (AROC) project

by COMMUNITYWISE RESOURCE CENTRE

Our Anti-Racist Organizational Change work needs financial support for 2021! We rely on donations and grant funding to keep it a well-resourced priority. Our work is focused on addressing racism in the nonprofit sector. Learn more about this work and view the resources we've created over the past 4 years here: http://communitywise.net/aroc/

Funds help pay for staffing to move this work forward, as well as resource creation.

We have been undertaking Anti-Racist Organizational Change (AROC) at CommunityWise since March 2016. During this time, we’ve worked through a consultative and emergent process to better understand and define organizational racism as well as develop and implement strategies to create greater racial equity in our nonprofit organization.

While the process of AROC and the goal of creating greater racial equity is a constant and evolving one, we’ve developed some tools and resources that shed light on the process we are undertaking and that may help other organizations do the same. They can be found here: http://communitywise.net/aroc/

Note: These resources share some but not all of the challenges CommunityWise has faced, and they don’t necessarily reflect the difficulty we’ve experienced along the way. Anti-racism work is not as simple as applying resources “off the shelf”. It is a long-term commitment that requires a lot of self-reflection and learning. It also invites a great deal of discomfort. But it is only from this discomfort that change can actually occur.
