WE FOCUS ON
Solving 3 Big Sector Issues
A Lack of Financial Sustainability
Many nonprofit organizations live under constant financial pressure leading to fundraising stress and under-investment in operations. This is exacerbated by sector norms that restrict operational investment.
Development Talent Turnover
The financial stress and a reticence to invest in things outside of the core program, such as leadership development, sees development teams turning over at incredibly high rates, adding to the financial pressures of the organization.
Leadership Isolation and Burnout
The combination of high team turnover, financials stress, and high expectations from funders and boards, takes a toll on the organizational leaders leading to high rates of burnout and a feeling of isolation.

Our Values
DEIB Statement
Working Through a Lens of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Community is the nucleus for change, and the cornerstone of our work at Revjen. We believe that together, we can drive the change necessary to solve long-standing sector challenges for good. We want to launch this movement by providing our solutions to leaders in communities and regions across the country, allowing them to take hold and grow.
We at Revjen are committed to the ongoing process of self-examination, training, and evaluation so that we may better understand and reform any policies, practices, or procedures that perpetuate structural oppression, and we strive to create a space for brave conversations and to provide a learning environment that uplifts marginalized voices and perspectives in all of our work. We strive to view our internal practices and external work through a lens of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and will lean into our definitions below as we continue on our DEI journey.
Diversity
Respecting, valuing, and appreciating what makes people different from one another – in terms of age, gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation, education, socioeconomic status, marital status, language, physical appearance, and national origin – through conscious practice and active engagement with people of diverse backgrounds and identities. Revjen embraces the truth that each person is a unique collection of identities and that this diversity – including those who differ in their ideas, perspectives and values – ultimately strengthens and advances our mission.
Equity
Seeking fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all people, while actively working to identify and eliminate barriers that prevent full participation of some groups. Equity is about increasing justice and fairness in institutions or systems – both in terms of procedures and processes as well as distribution of resources. Doing this requires an understanding of the root causes of outcome disparities within our society. Revjen’s mission is rooted in tackling some entrenched and pervasive issues in the nonprofit sector and we recognize that systemic racism and other forms of systemic oppression are intrinsically tied to access of resources and opportunity in the country. While Revjen seeks to accomplish its mission, we also recognize our role in removing barriers of access to our work to achieve equitable access in the sector.
Inclusion
Creating environments that welcome, respect, support and value the full participation of any individual or group. This means building a climate that embraces differences and offers respect in words and action – recognizing that a diverse group is not necessarily inclusive. Revjen recognizes that dismantling entrenched issues in the sector and achieving impact requires collaboration and the inclusion of many voices.
Belonging
Creating an environment where everyone feels welcome, valued, and supported. We believe that everyone should be able to bring their authentic selves to work and feel like they belong. We are committed to fostering a culture of belonging where everyone can thrive.
