Belonging in Action
Advancing Equity. Empowering Leaders. Transforming Rhode Island.
DAIPis a statewide network convening equity leaders, educators, and organizations to build skills, strengthen systems, and operationalize belonging across sectors

Welcome to DAIP
DAIP is a Rhode Island–based 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to education, strategy, and collective learning. We bring together individuals and organizations from across the business, government, non-profit, and academic sectors to build community, strengthen skills, and advance equity in meaningful, sustainable ways.
Our mission is to create space for learning, collaboration, and honest dialogue around diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging — and to support organizations as they operationalize inclusive practices.
DAIP is a home for leaders, learners, and community builders who believe in equity, belonging, and collective progress. Here, we gather to learn, grow, challenge systems, and support one another.
We invite you to explore our events, connect with our community, and join a movement grounded in connection, courage, care, and transformation.
“We need different voices to bring a kaleidoscope of thinking.”
