ACLU-KY Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging Vendor Survey

The American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky (ACLU-KY) uses a range of vendor services as we work to meet our mission. We are screening vendors to ensure our spending of donor and grant dollars aligns with our mission and our equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging (EDIB) goals. We seek to work with local vendors who are directly impacted by the issues that we work on and use sustainable practices to reduce their business's negative environmental impact on our planet.

Please fill out this survey to the best of your ability. If you have questions or concerns, please contact ACLU-KY Deputy Director T Gonzales at (502) 581-9746.
