NEXT LEVEL DEI​
In response to the pushback on DEI, Next Level DEI focuses on educating corporate America about the benefits of DEI in order to better understand why diversity is beneficial to their bottom line, and informing them on how to continue embedding DEI programs into their practice within the changing legal landscape. Through Next Level DEI's corporate engagement work, corporations will gain further clarity on how to engage deeply with improving access and opportunity, thereby increasing the diversity of their teams and consumer bases, and what they can do to ensure that the people brought into their ecosystems as a result of those efforts feel a sense of belonging. Ultimately through this work, we hope to engage with corporate America to learn from each other and help co-create a new vision of what diversity, equity, and inclusion can be.​

Making the Case for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Resource Impact collaborated with Hart Research, Bellwether Research, and the Raben Group to conduct research that would shed light on voter perspectives on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and help to develop more effective strategic communications around DEI efforts. Between April and August of 2024, the research team conducted online journals, led 13 focus groups, an online survey of 3,142 voters nationwide, and followed up with online discussions. This research is intended to help educate community leaders, advocates, and the broader public on voter opinions about DEI. ​​​​
