Apply for the GBA+ Accelerator to strengthen how your organization shows up in practice. The accelerator offers structured GBA+ assessments for organizations that want policies, internal culture, and program delivery to better reflect the people they serve. You will leave with clear, practical recommendations your leadership team can use to improve accessibility, inclusion, and accountability.
Many organizations have strong intentions and clear values. Where things often get stuck is in day-to-day systems: hiring processes, eligibility criteria or decision-making structures. These details can quietly create barriers, even when equity is a stated priority. The Accelerator creates space to slow down, look closely, and make adjustments that are practical and grounded.
What Organizations Gain
Organizations leave the Accelerator with:
- A clearer understanding of how current practices are experienced on the ground.
- Recommendations to improve accessibility and inclusion.
- Stronger accountability to community realities, shifting decision-making away from abstract intentions toward the lived experiences of those most affected.
- Stronger documentation to support funding, reporting, or internal decision-making.

- Funding applications that require GBA+ or equity-based analysis.
