LaTosch Consulting was founded in 2012 by Kathleen LaTosch after serving as Chief Administrative Officer at Affirmations and upon completing a four-year racial inclusiveness initiative she led and facilitated, Blueprint for Change. It was aimed at addressing historic racial inequities within an LGBTQ community center located just outside of Detroit, MI. The project has been lifted up as an example of positive change initiatives and won the organization a Corp! Magazine Diversity Award in 2011.
With a background in both anthropology and social work, the experience led LaTosch to more deeply understand the extent to which the nonprofit sector was white-led, leading to inequities for people of color in employment, involvement and services. It moved and amplified her desire to help nonprofits do better for all – by increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion at all levels within an organization and beyond – individual understandings, interpersonal relationships, organizational policies & practices, and advocating up and out to impact systemic inequities.
