About LIA
In our deep and heartfelt commitment to creating an equitable world, The Winters Group developed a corporate social responsibility arm—Live Inclusively® Actualized (LIA)—that focuses on the efforts surrounding this commitment.
LIA Vision
We envision a world that has fully actualized access, equity, inclusion and justice for all people.
LIA Mission
We aim to break down systemic barriers that impact BIPOC communities through sponsorship and grant making to organizations and programs by and for BIPOC; and service opportunities that promote inclusion, equity and justice.

2021 Live Inclusively® Actualized Grant Cycle
Our 2021 Live Inclusively® Actualized (LIA) grant cycle is now open! The Request for Proposals can be found here.
Through LIA, we will award grants to 501c3 nonprofit organizations that work to break down systemic barriers in their communities. As we increasingly shift our focus to social and racial justice, we want to emphasize support for organizations by and for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color). We have also made a few changes to our evaluation and selection criteria to create a more inclusive process. Proposals are due May 14. Please see the Request for Proposals for additional deadlines.

Commit to #LiveInclusively!
I commit to be intentional in living inclusively.
I commit to spending more time getting to know myself and understanding my culture. It is in understanding myself, that I am better positioned to understand others. I will acknowledge that I don’t know what I don’t know, but I will not use what is unconscious as an excuse.
I will be intentional in exposing myself to difference. If I don’t know, I will ask. If I am asked, I will assume positive intent. Most importantly, I will accept my responsibility in increasing my own knowledge and understanding.
I commit to speaking up and speaking out, even when I am not directly impacted, for there is no such thing as neutrality in the quest for equity, justice, and inclusion.
I will strive to accept, and not just tolerate; respect, even if I don’t agree; and be curious, not judgmental. I commit to pausing and listening. I will be empathetic to the experiences and perspectives of my “others”. I will use my privilege positively, and get comfortable with my own discomfort.
I commit to knowing, getting, and doing better than I did yesterday—keeping in mind my commitment to live inclusively is a journey, not a destination.
