About Us
Mission:
Cause Collective strengthens nonprofits to better serve the community through collaboration, education and advocacy.
Vision:
Nonprofits inspire a vibrant, thriving and compassionate community where all residents have equal opportunity.
Our Diversity Statement:
Cause Collective affirms its commitment to human diversity, equity and inclusion. We
encourage mutual respect and understanding among people of all abilities, ethnicities, cultures,
races, generations, religions, sexual orientations and gender identities. We recognize that true
excellence in organizations and communities results from identifying, serving, and enlisting the
participation of people who represent a diversity of experiences.
We urge member agencies to provide services to, and with equal respect for, those of all
abilities, ethnicities, cultures, races, generations, religions, sexual orientations and gender
identities, and economic status; and to recruit staff and board members who represent
diverse populations.
We believe this commitment to be our responsibility as a professional organization which plays
an integral leadership role in the community and future of this City.
