Advancing DEIJ Initiatives with the National Wildlife Federation

About the client

The National Wildlife Federation (NWF) believes America’s landscapes and wildlife have played a crucial role in shaping our national identity. The collective commitment to protect these natural resources unites people across diverse backgrounds and political affiliations.

Our Work

Raben played a pivotal role in supporting the NWF in establishing foundational structures for its Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) initiatives through a comprehensive multi-year initiative involving staff and board members. Working collaboratively with the Board, Raben facilitated the creation of a dedicated DEIJ Board Committee, fostering collaboration between board members and the staff.

Our work with the staff included crafting a compelling organizational case for diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice, resulting in the implementation of a new Steering Committee structure. This transformative approach, led by co-chairs, significantly enhanced the organization's commitment to DEIJ. Key milestones and achievements can be explored in NWF's Equity & Justice Journey: A Snapshot from 2016 - 2022.
