Intent versus Impact
Abstract
Our sector has a problem with race. According to the Building Movements Project recent Race to Lead report, the number of Executive Directors/CEOs of nonprofits who identify as white has remained virtually unchanged over the past decade despite a pointed focus to improve representative diversity at the highest levels of the sector. In fact, only 10 percent of nonprofit CEOs are people of color and only 16 percent of Board members and 10 percent of Board Chairs are people of color1. As our nation confronts race and inherent bias, we need diversity and equitable representation in the leaders of our civil society to help us achieve equality.
