It’s More Than A Program
It’s about IMPACT & CHANGE
Did you know
At least 60% of all national nonprofits serve BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) - Annie E Casey Foundation report.
BoardSource “Leading With Intent” report in 2017 noted that 84% of nonprofit board members identify as white
BoardSource’s most recent Leading With Intent Report released in June of this year showed that NOW about 87% of nonprofit chief executives are White with 78% of nonprofit boards also being White. While this means there has been some progress, the change has been slow.
Our country’s growing awareness of systemic inequities is causing many in the social sector to focus on diversity, equity and inclusion on nonprofit boards (and in executive leadership).
HOW WE GOT HERE
Multiple studies have documented the changing landscape of leadership. Whether this be from a generational, gender, or racial perspective, we are recognizing the shift. With regards to the nonprofits sector, specifically, there is recognition of the racial leadership gap for representation of the populations served.
