Nonprofit Diversity Efforts: Current Practices and the Role of Foundations

How do not-for-profits see diversity as relevant to their goals? How do they want their foundation funders to be involved in their diversity efforts?

The Center for Effective Philanthropy turned to its Grantee Voice Panel of not-for-profit leaders to learn more about how they are thinking about diversity — and how foundations can be most helpful to their grantees, if at all, when it comes to this topic.

The result is the report Nonprofit Diversity Efforts: Current Practices and the Role of Foundations. It provides a collection of data on topics such as how diversity relates to the work of not-for-profits and what demographic information not-for-profits and funders alike are collecting — and how that information is used.
