What We Do

We engineer inclusive systems that shift power to communities.

​

At IncludUs, we don’t just support change — we design it, build it, and scale it with those closest to the solution. Our national nonprofit is uniquely structured across three integrated entities that work together to turn bold, community-led ideas into transformative, measurable outcomes.

Our Infrastructure For Impact

1

IncludUs Fund

The fuel for grassroots ideas.


We provide fiscal sponsorship, operational support, and catalytic funding to community-led initiatives that align with our mission. Through our 501(c)(3), funders can invest in early-stage and movement-aligned projects with confidence, knowing they’re backed by expert compliance, data systems, and real-time coaching.

IncludUs Labs

The innovation engine.


We co-design scalable solutions. Our Labs develop open-source tools, test new program models, and help communities translate vision into viable, fundable infrastructure.

  • Design Lab – Strategy meets human-centered design

  • Media + Culture Lab – Narrative power meets community voice

  • Research & Data Lab – Insights that drive systems-level change

3

IncludUs Institute

The capacity builder.


We equip nonprofit teams, ERGs, and community leaders with the leadership training, strategic frameworks, and coaching they need to scale impact and sustain change. Our leadership pipeline supports civic, corporate, and entrepreneurial leaders of color with a focus on wellness, inclusion, and systems-thinking.

Our Focus Areas

We focus our engineering and investment strategies across five critical systems where inequality persists and where scalable change is most urgent:

  • Health Equity – From mobile mental health clinics to trauma-informed leadership programs

  • Civic Engagement – Mobilizing Latino communities through music, digital campaigns, and local partnerships

  • Economic Empowerment – Building financial mobility, green jobs, and entrepreneurship pathways

  • Education Access – Advancing STEAM, student leadership, and cultural inclusion in schools

  • Environmental Justice – Driving clean energy adoption and climate resilience in frontline communities

  • Leadership Representation -
