Purpose/Mission Statement * Diversity Coalition of San Luis Obispo County ’s (DCSLOC) mission is to build and sustain a coalition that seeks a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive community through advocacy and education. 2. Briefly describe your organization’s purpose, vision, primary activities, and operating structures * Purpose/Vision: Over the last 12 years, we have focused on coalition building and education through the sharing of personal stories to promote empathy and foster understanding. Our vision is of a SLO County where everyone feels safe and valued by the diverse perspectives that they bring to each space. Primary Activities: School Speakers: We bring renowned diversity speakers to schools, educating a predominantly white audience on diversity issues while also affirming our BIPOC audience’s lived experiences. Fostering Understanding Community Forums: We focus on bringing different community members to foster understanding through community presentations and panel discussions around issues of diversity, equity and inclusion. Climate Justice Alliance: Recognizing a need to connect climate change to social justice, we co-organized the formation of the San Luis Obispo County Climate Justice Alliance, bringing together a variety of organizations from government, academics and the nonprofit sector to develop just and effective solutions to climate change. Additionally, and in coalition, we have secured grant funding to work on more relatable messaging around electrification for BIPOC and low and middle income communities in California. BIPOC Board Leadership Training: Our BIPOC Board Leadership Training program launched in 2023 and has graduated 13 BIPOC leaders, providing comprehensive board governance training to local BIPOC professionals, providing assistance for matchmaking with nonprofit and agency boards. We have signed up 14 nonprofits seeking BIPOC board members. The program provides comprehensive board governance training to local BIPOC professionals and assistance for placement with nonprofit and agency boards. Our goal is to tackle the current lack of fair representation in SLO County. We have also leveraged support from Spokes, the local nonprofit resource center, to provide DEI training for white board members. Operating Structures Our current operating structure consists of an Executive Director and Program Director working with the Board of Directors to determine organizational strategy and plan and implement programming. The board members take on specific roles to support program implementation and expansion (see attached Organizational Structure document). The Program Director, our second paid staff member, was hired to lead development and implementation of our new BIPOC Board Leadership Training Program. With guidance from the Executive Director, volunteers support our educational events and outreach. 3. Name of Executive Director * Rita Casaverde 4. Name of Board President or Chair * Cornel N. Morton 5. Number of paid staff (full or part-time)* 1 6. Number of volunteers * 196 7. Describe the community(ies) your organization supports * Through our programming we support a wide range of community members who face systemic barriers. Our advocacy in the county helps to shift power structures, directing funding to disadvantaged communities, while our educational programming helps create allies who support and work towards more equitable laws and distribution of resources. We provide BIPOC, refugees, LGBTQ+ individuals, and other often marginalized community members with platforms to share their stories in their own words through our speaker series. Through our BIPOC Board Leadership Training Program, we seek to support BIPOC individuals in accessing board leadership positions by providing comprehensive training and networking opportunities. We will partner with Spokes, a local nonprofit resources agency, to leverage their community connections and increase DEI training for local nonprofit boards. This partnership will increase the success of our matching process by ensuring that trainees have a better experience and longer terms of service when joining majority white boards. 8.

Please provide an executive summary of proposed project/program * We request $10,000 to support our BIPOC Board Leadership Training Program--this developing program requires strong community investment to establish and grow, therefore our request is for the maximum funding amount. First, our BIPOC Board Leadership Training increases the pool of trained, willing and supported BIPOC ready to serve on boards, overcoming a perceived shortage. We plan to have 2 (two) trainings every calendar year. Each training will last two days and will have a cohort of 12-15 diverse BIPOC participants. Second, after each training, we will provide board placement assistance services for BIPOC individuals with nonprofit boards through direct communication as well as in-person mixer events held twice annually, overcoming systemic barriers in traditional board recruitment methods. We aim to match 10-15 local boards with a BIPOC training graduate within a year of training completion (5-8 per cohort). Third, we work with our partner Spokes to provide DEI training to local agencies interested in diversifying their boards, improving their ability to recruit, retain and support BIPOC board members, reaching 50 board directors at 20 nonprofits. 2. Total Project Cost?* $108,600.00 3. Requested Project Amount * $10,000.00 4. Please provide a detailed description of proposed project/program * This grant will support our Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) Board Leadership Training Program, partially funding a paid Program Director position in our organization to lead program implementation in a focused and intentional way, and to cover a portion of the operation expenses--we request $10,000 over 12 months. Our program addresses a critical issue of board leadership diversity raised through the Unity Committee Report done through the Sheriff ’s office, one of the only documents in SLO County recognizing systemic racism. This is a new program which addresses the lack of diversity in nonprofit and agency governance by: 1. increasing the number of BIPOC trained and ready to serve on boards through a comprehensive BIPOC board leadership training program; 2. facilitating placement of BIPOC on boards through direct coordination and mixer events; 3. increasing demand for and recruitment and retention of BIPOC on boards by training existing nonprofit boards in boardroom DEI best practices. Strategy: BIPOC Board Leadership Training There has been no substantial effort in our county to increase BIPOC capacity to serve on boards, and therefore barriers of culturally- relevant and supportive technical training, confidence-building and mentorship required for BIPOC to break into leadership positions have been a limiting factor, contributing to predominantly white boardrooms in both the nonprofit and government agency sectors. Our program will train BIPOC specifically, with attention to the intersectionality of disability, immigration status, gender and age, etc. to increase the pool of eligible, willing and supported BIPOC board members available to SLO agency boards. We will recruit widely throughout San Luis Obispo County to attract BIPOC to the program, in addition to recruiting among our diverse array of affiliate organizations. We will hold two trainings per year with each training cohort consisting of 12-15 BIPOC participants. Each two-day training will cover topics including Board Governance, Finance, Fundraising/Networking, and Strategic Leadership Management. Each cohort will have the opportunity to connect with each other, creating mini diverse networks. Additionally, our training instructors will also be BIPOC, experts in their fields, who will open their own networks to our trainees. Strategy: BIPOC Board Member Placement Assistance Despite recognizing the need to diversify their boards, many organizations struggle to successfully recruit diverse individuals. One of the main limitations is that well-established, predominantly white, existing board-member networks are hard to break through, as board recruiting often occurs between professionals in the same field who already know one another. This also causes tokenizations of the few BIPOC within their networks, where a few BIPOC individuals serve many roles, and BIPOC individuals in service may represent a limited background and experience. Overall, there are few opportunities for boards to connect with BIPOC from diverse backgrounds and experiences. We will provide board matching assistance services to BIPOC individuals, connecting them with organization boards through direct communication as well as in-person mixer events held twice annually after each BIPOC Board Leadership Training. We will recruit 10- 15 organizations per board-matching mixer, collaborating with our partners to conduct outreach. Strategy: Boardroom DEI Training We will address training for dominantly white boards. Spokes will include boardroom DEI training in their annual Board Academy and Board Officer training programs, ensuring that boards are doing everything they can to recruit and retain BIPOC board members. Spokes offers two trainings per year and aims to train up to 50 board directors, executive directors and of officers representing up to 20 local organizations. Strategy: Diversify Homeless-related Organizational Boards We will conduct target outreach and recruitment of 16 homeless-related organizations in the City of San Luis Obispo, providing information and inviting them to enroll in our Nonprofit Board Matching & Placement Assistance Services program which will attempt facilitated placement of BIPOC board members for their organizations as well as training for their existing board members through SPOKES. See Question 9 below for a complete list of organizations we will target. Over the 12 months of the grant, we expect to graduate 24-30 trainees prepared and willing to serve on local nonprofit and governmental boards, matching them to 10-15 organization boards and dramatically shifting representation of BIPOC on decision making bodies. Spokes will train 50 white nonprofit leaders (representing 20 organizations) in boardroom DEI best practices. Organizations will pay a one-time $150 fee to apply for direct-placement assistance services, while trainees will pay a $500 fee to participate in the program—this encourages personal investment in attending and completing the program and offsets some of the costs of the training (about $3000 per person). BIPOC individuals with financial need can apply for scholarships to ensure that this fee is not a barrier. Companies can also sponsor their BIPOC employees to attend. Spokes’ workshops have a nominal fee for participants of $10 - $30 per person. We will collect exit surveys from trainees and boards and will use participant feedback to evaluate and improve our program. This program is a powerful lever that creates a profound ripple effect through the community while maximizing our use of our limited resources. More BIPOC individuals placed on local boards will transform and expand the capacity of local organizations and agencies to provide effective, equitable, and culturally competent services to our community members with the highest need. With the support of this grant, we will tackle systemic inequities directly and empower other organizations and agencies in the community, many of whom are at the forefront of providing direct services to marginalized populations, to do the same. 5. Describe the community/population the project/program will support.* Through our Board Diversity Program, we seek to support BIPOC individuals (with attention to the intersectionality of disability, immigration status, gender and age) in accessing board leadership positions by providing comprehensive training and networking opportunities, and also training local governing boards how to better recruit, retain, and support BIPOC board members. Increasing diversity on local governing boards will improve the delivery of educational, social and health services to BIPOC communities throughout our county. 6.

Identify any partnerships/collaborations that are supporting this project/program and their roles * Spokes, a local resource and training hub for nonprofits is the primary partner for this project and will coordinate closely with DCSLOC to leverage their non profit connections, helping recruit organizations to the board mixers. They will also lead the training of prevailing white boards and white board members in boardroom DEI best practices. We will recruit BIPOC trainees from our affiliate organizations. These organizations will be invited to our mixers. We will also partner with the wider nonprofit community to involve them in mixers and board recruitment.

Describe your plan for sustainability beyond the City’s one-year award funding * A continuing investment from the City of SLO will have a high impact in helping our program succeed with our early training cohorts, building a name and increasing our profile to sponsors, donors, paying trainees and grantors who will continue to support the program financially into the future. This grant’s benefits will persist through its legacy impacts of training new BIPOC board members, training existing boards in DEI best practices and providing placement assistance with local nonprofits and agencies, leveraging Spokes connections with local nonprofits, improving local capacity of boards to deliver effective, culturally competent services. Spokes will integrate DEI boardroom best practices training and retention into their annual Board Academy and Board Officer Training curriculum, ensuring that the impacts of this grant are carried on into future years. This program is currently being developed, with the first cohort completed in the fall of 2023 and the second planned for spring of 2024. Once developed, the program will persist as a regular part of the Diversity Coalition of San Luis Obispo County ’s programming. We will continue the program as long as we can secure funding, and resources have been dedicated to this effort in the form of budgeting the program as a part of the organization’s annual budget and dedicating resources to grant writing and fundraising. A highly qualified Program Director, with past experience leading similar board leadership training has been hired to develop and implement the program and will continue its operation into the future, training more BIPOC board members and placing them with local nonprofits with a goal of graduating 100 trainees within 3 years. 11. Describe the plan for promoting this project, program, or service within the City of San Luis Obispo * We will recruit widely throughout the City of San Luis Obispo to attract BIPOC professionals to the program. In addition to recruiting directly among our diverse array of affiliate organizations, we will conduct direct outreach to local nonprofits and city government diversity offices, inviting them to be involved in the mixers. We will publicize our program through our email list and social media, and a number of our affiliate organizations will cross-promote our program on their networks. We will conduct in-person outreach at our SLO-based Fostering Understanding events. Spokes, a resource hub for local nonprofits, will also conduct outreach on our behalf. Spokes will work closely with the San Luis Obispo Chambers of Commerce to advertise through E-Blasts, flyers, and a Good Morning SLO “soap box.” In addition to these methods Spokes will also advertise through: Social media; Direct mail to nonprofits; Spokes email newsletter, outreach to membership; Radio and television PSA’s, such as KCBX, KVEC, KSBY.
