135: One Big Nugget | What Nonprofits Need to Know About DEI & Trump’s Executive Order
Episode 135
Thursday, 3 April, 2025
It's Jess Birken here, and I'm thrilled to have you join me and Meghan for this episode of Charity Therapy. We're diving into the world of DEI (that's diversity, equity, and inclusion), specifically about the Trump administration’s Executive Order 14151, which is causing quite a stir. In this episode, we're tackling the fears and misconceptions head-on. We’ve got a listener question - is it still allowed to start a nonprofit that focuses on BIPOC access in the arts? Short answer? Yes! But we’ll talk about what the executive order IS doing to nonprofits who focus on DEI. Plus, we’ll chat about why it's crucial to get accurate info and not just rely on the latest social media buzz. Remember, it's all about staying informed and confident in your mission, even when things seem a bit uncertain. Feeling a bit overwhelmed? You're definitely not alone. We all need a reminder to pause, breathe, and reach out for support when things get tough. So, let's get comfy and have a real talk about navigating these challenges together. And hey, if you know someone who needs a bit of encouragement, share this episode with them. We're all in this nonprofit journey together, and I'm here to help guide you through it. In this episode, you will hear: What Executive Order 14151 means for DEI in the federal government Whether nonprofits can still support DEI initiatives in 2025 and beyond Common misconceptions about DEI The real effect of Trump’s EO for nonprofits working with marginalized communities Resources from this Episode Sign up for the Birken Law Email list: https://birkenlaw.com/signup/ Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/birkenlaw Follow and Review: We’d love for you to follow us if you haven’t yet.
