Inclusive Business Development Corporation (IBD), founded by inclusion advocate Nikki Sanger, is introducing a consulting model that connects diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) efforts in the workplace with community-level outcomes in public education. Operating on a shared value framework, IBD seeks to align internal corporate transformation with broader social investment.
The organization offers DEIA consulting to businesses while providing no-cost services to schools through a “dual impact” approach. For each business engagement, IBD delivers a complimentary consultation to a K-12 institution, focusing on inclusive practices in teaching and school leadership. According to the organization, this model aims to foster both institutional change and long-term cultural impact.
Sanger launched IBD after leading MEC Disabilities, a nonprofit focused on accessibility and advocacy. IBD builds on that experience, expanding the reach of inclusion efforts into the private sector. The consulting firm emphasizes customized strategies tailored to an organization’s industry, size, and internal culture. Services typically include assessments, workforce development plans, and DEIA implementation strategies.
IBD’s model is designed to address both internal policy shifts and external community engagement. The organization reports that its approach supports clients in moving beyond compliance by integrating DEIA principles into recruitment, leadership development, and stakeholder engagement. As part of its educational outreach, IBD has conducted workshops, accessibility reviews, and curriculum guidance for schools in underserved areas.
“Inclusion is central to sustainable business development,” Sanger said. “By incorporating inclusive practices, organizations are also preparing the next generation for equitable participation.”
While independent evaluations or client case studies have not yet been publicly released, IBD states that its ongoing partnerships include both private enterprises and public institutions. The firm is currently expanding its reach into new markets, with a focus on scaling its consulting model and educational support programs.
The company’s stated goal is to bridge the gap between professional opportunity and educational access, ensuring that workplace transformation contributes to long-term systems change.
