About IDEA(s) In Motion

AZ Impact for Good is committed to serving the nonprofit and philanthropic communities, focusing on inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility (IDEA). As part of this commitment, we wanted to establish a way to share information and best practices around IDEA with our members in a way that they would find exciting and compelling. Our goal was to serve as a critical source of information on including IDEA practices in nonprofit + philanthropic operations.

In the IDEA(s) In Motion newsletter, we have created a central source of communication on topics related to IDEA that our members can access whenever convenient and refer to over the course of time. We curate the best information we can find on the topic, as well as include our own perspectives and the perspectives of others to promote best practices.
