A new research report out today from the Center for Effective Philanthropy (CEP), titled Nonprofit Diversity Efforts: Current Practices and the Role of Foundations, shares nonprofit leaders’ views on their diversity pursuits — and how their foundation funders are interacting with or supporting them in this area.

This report by Equity in the Center and ProInspire identifies the personal beliefs and behaviors, cultural characteristics, operational tactics, and practices that accelerate measurable progress toward race equity. It offers a roadmap for making racial equity a core focus for organizations working for positive social change.

This comprehensive, first-of-its kind report commissioned by Hyams Foundation and conducted by The MassINC Polling Group shows policy priorities for people of color in Boston, including education, criminal justice, race relations, and economic opportunity. 

The United States economy could be $8 trillion larger by 2050 if the country eliminated racial disparities in health, education, incarceration and employment. This report seeks to expand the narrative associated with racial equity by adding a compelling economic argument to the social justice goal.

The Competitive Advantage of Racial Equity highlights examples from 12 leading companies such as Gap Inc., PayPal, and Cigna, who are driving innovation and growth by advancing racial equity.
