TRU Powered by IDEALS, a U of A institute, has 35 nonprofit organizations selected to participate in the second phase of its regional initiative to bolster diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in Northwest Arkansas. 

• Empowering community: The initiative provides cohort participants practical strategies for the advancement of their individual DEI journeys as local nonprofits. TRU is an acronym that stands for Train, Recharge, and Uplift. Those three words are also the names of three cohorts within the TRU Powered by IDEALS initiative. 
• Cohorts: There are 15 members in the Train cohort, 5 in the Recharge cohort, and 15 in the Uplift cohort. You can learn a little bit more about what separates the individual cohorts in a previous newsletter.
