Commitments

At Fuel and Inspire, we are committed to fostering a culture of creativity, equity, and well-being—for our team and the communities we serve. We believe in empowering individuals, especially artists, creatives, entrepreneurs, and changemakers, by providing accessible tools, resources, and opportunities to build meaningful, sustainable lives and careers.

Our organizational practices reflect our values that include flexible work environments, a strong emphasis on mental health and burnout prevention, and a deep commitment to diversity and inclusion. Internally, we incorporate feedback loops, collaborative goal-setting, and mission-driven leadership development to ensure our team feels supported and heard.

We align our internal standards with public frameworks like Equity in the Center’s Awake to Woke to Work and the Mental Health at Work Index.

Fuel and Inspire does not simply talk about supporting people—we live it through inclusive policies, authentic storytelling, and a transparent, values-led approach to everything we do.

Fuel and Inspire Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Statement

At Fuel and Inspire, we believe that innovation, creativity, and resilience thrive in environments where every voice is heard, valued, and empowered. We don’t just welcome diversity—we actively build it into our organizational fabric through representations of different races, genders, ages, abilities, socioeconomic backgrounds, and lived experiences.

Why it matters to us

  • We know diverse perspectives fuel more innovative ideas, foster stronger teamwork, and cultivate a sense of belonging across our organization.

  • We’re committed to designing policies and practices that reduce barriers and increase opportunity—whether in hiring, compensation, leadership development, or community partnerships.

What we do

  • Inclusive recruitment & retention: We actively seek candidates from underrepresented communities; offer flexible work arrangements; and conduct bias-aware hiring.

  • Intentional equity practices: We ensure equitable access to professional development, leadership pathways, and pay transparency.

  • Accessibility & belonging: We build accessible infrastructure (digital and physical), offer inclusive benefits, facilitate employee resource circles, and provide training on cultural competency, isms, and micro-aggressions.

  • Transparency & accountability: We monitor our workforce data, share progress annually, and adjust based on community and team feedback—because trust grows through open dialogue and action.

This is our promise
Fuel and Inspire is dedicated to growing a workplace where all individuals can unapologetically bring their whole selves to the table—knowing they belong, are respected, and can thrive. Our commitment to DEI informs everything we do, from day-to-day interactions and internal programming to partnerships, project design, and how we inspire the communities we serve.
