This year your director tells the whole staff that their funding sources—governmental, private foundations and your parent organization—have all required evidence of the agency’s programs reaching diverse populations matched to the demographics of your community, show evidence that funds from your budget are allocated to address the specific needs of each population AND show evidence that every staff person has been trained in cultural competency.
