Review Criteria

An applicant organization will be reviewed on their own organizational commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and Accessibility principles and how that commitment is illustrated in both their internal policies and procedures and their external programs and services. 

COA respects that each organization comes to this work from differing needs and perspectives and that there is no one single path to instituting equitable practices across the organization. Because of this, we will ask questions in the application that are designed to help you share your organization’s assessed needs and action steps.
