Grant Makers, Here’s How to Support Nonprofits Led by People of Color
August 13, 2024
NFF's Aisha Benson discusses the decline in philanthropic support for nonprofits led by people of color after an initial surge in funding following 2020’s racial justice movements, and why it's more important than ever to provide sustained, long-term support.
"Be a champion for change in the sector by helping clear the path for nonprofits to advance racial equity," writes Aisha.
To ensure the continued impact of nonprofits led by people of color, Benson encourages grantmakers to avoid funding reductions, offer resources beyond money, support advocacy, address current needs, and fund the full cost of nonprofit operations to maintain progress toward racial equity.
