It is with great enthusiasm that we welcome the Tri-Cities Diversity & Inclusion Council to the Calyx family.
TCD&IC is a nonprofit 501 c(3) community organization dedicated to celebrating diversity, embracing cultures, and fostering a unified community through education, outreach and advocacy. Their service areas include Benton, Franklin and Walla Walla counties.
TCD&IC is based in the Kennewick-Pasco-Richland Metropolitan Statistical Area—known collectively as the Tri-Cities—a dynamic, culturally diverse area with growing American Indian, Asian, Black, Hispanic, Pacific Islander populations. It comprises bustling, urban centers as well as smaller, rural communities such as Prosser and Benton City. From cultural festivals to voter education workshops to DEI trainings for local organizations, TCD&IC strives to support marginalized communities by collaborating with them to identify and address barriers to belonging.
DEIA is a passion for us here at Calyx. We'll be working with TCD&IC to secure general operating and capacity-building grants to sustain and scale their growth. We can't wait to see what we can achieve together!
