Creating a World Where Everyone Thrives
Open to All is a nonprofit organization that helps businesses flourish by creating environments where customers, clients, patients, guests, employees, vendors, visitors, users and communities feel a true sense of belonging, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual and gender identity, or any of the ways we are unique.
Partnership and support through your toughest challenges
We are creating a world where everyone thrives together: businesses and the people who grow and support them.
Where each of us is respected.
Where our differences are valued. And where everyone’s unique contributions are welcomed— at work and in our communities — without exception. By fostering the inclusion of all people, by leading with fairness and equitable access to opportunity, we believe each person can reach their potential and contribute and participate meaningfully at work and in society.
Businesses, people and communities can thrive together.
This shared vision is grounded in a belief in openness – open doors, fair access to opportunities, and expanded, inclusive perspectives. By being open to all, we can transform global work environments, businesses, industries, and communities. But when we join with one another to recognize our common values and welcome everyone’s contributions, the effects go beyond business success. Society itself is repaired and nourished.
To be open to all is to recognize one another’s shared humanity across our diversity.
This means understanding the fundamental realities of human potential and societal flourishing:
– We all have something to contribute.
– We can all learn from one another
– When we stand together, when we value our employees and the professionals who serve us, when we care for our consumers and one another, we all thrive.
