Inclusion Allies Coalition

What Inclusion Allies Coalition does

Inclusion Allies Coalition (IAC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership coalition founded in 2017 in response to post-2016 US election polarization, operating under the governance of the International MultiCultural Institute (iMCI) and headquartered in Brooklyn, NY. The organization serves diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practitioners and organizations through a tiered annual membership program — individual tiers range from $50 (students) to $250 (advocates), and organizational tiers are priced from $500 to $10,000 annually based on company revenue — supplemented by $25 per-webinar fees for non-members. Core deliverables include monthly webinars, a mentoring program, downloadable advocacy position papers, the Inclusion Allies Advocacy Network (IAAN) rapid-response sub-brand, a careers board, and AI-generated advocacy music.

IAC's go-to-market is community-led: acquisition occurs primarily through content marketing (blog, social media, newsletter), webinars, and direct outreach, with self-serve signup via the membership portal on inclusioncoalition.info. The coalition has grown to over 750 members across individuals and organizations, with stated global ambition. Operating costs are supported by a lean team of approximately six employees, board leadership drawn from former Chief Diversity Officers at Sodexo, Raytheon, Boehringer Ingelheim, WPP, Ogilvy & Mather, and Cincinnati Children's Hospital, plus founding consultants from The Winters Group, Udarta Consulting, and The FutureWork Institute.

The organization is structured around committees including Advocacy, Webinar, Embattled States Community, and Career Resilience Community, providing differentiated engagement for members navigating hostile regulatory environments and DEI job displacement. There is no proprietary technology platform; the membership portal and content library are delivered through standard website infrastructure. Revenue figures, grants, and donor contributions are not publicly disclosed.
