- Abstract
In thinking about institutional advancement in higher education, one can often point to the strengths of advancement organizations: advancement practitioners excel at creating and sustaining relationships with alumni and donors; and, have seen great success in fundraising for billions of dollars annually in the United States. Alumni and donors are partners and give back in ways that are meaningful for them. However, through the following research into practice brief, we present a new organizational change model, the ABCS model. This model utilizes change management theory and research along with the tenets of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) scholarship and practice to push the field of advancement into a space of deeper understanding and action in the engagement of historically minoritized groups. As advancement organizations make commitments to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, our model moves organizations from a space of "checking the DEIB box" to a sincere and intentional commitment to listening, co-creating, action, and assessment.
