Overview
A grant to the Urban Institute (Washington, DC) will support a study by its Center for Nonprofits and Philanthropy on the diversity of the nonprofit sector in the state of California. Known nationally for producing unbiased and nonpartisan research, UI will conduct a survey of nonprofit organizations in the state to understand the racial and ethnic diversity of the staff and board members of California nonprofits and to estimate the proportion of nonprofits that are "minority-led" and "women-led." UI has partnered with Daylight Consulting Group—a firm that has specific expertise in working with California’s Asian, Pacific Islander, and Latino immigrant and refugee populations. While focused on California’s nonprofit landscape, the study will be beneficial to foundations across the country concerned with diversity and increasing funding to communities not traditionally touched by foundation dollars.
