Request For Proposals: Equity Audit

Anti-Blackness and anti-Indigenous racism, colonialism, ableism and forms of transphobia are present throughout the non-profit sector. LGBT YouthLine wants to be proactive and develop frameworks for our work with Black, Indigenous, disabled and trans femme communities as service users, employees, volunteers and partners.  

This audit will guide us in improving our practices and develop processes and policies to better support Black, Indigenous, disabled, and trans femme communities. Our goal for the audit is to ensure that we are actively working towards becoming a more equitable and accountable organization by: 

• Identifying and addressing systemic barriers within our structures and practices;  
• Creating sustainable mechanisms for feedback and accountability to the communities we serve and are composed of; and  

• Embedding equity-focused approaches into our governance, operations, and decision-making processes. 

The total maximum budget for this project is between $20,000-$25,000
