Details:
The Equity-Focused Leadership Grants program seeks to nurture a pipeline of diverse leaders committed to driving positive change within their communities. The nonprofit sector has consistently struggled with a lack of diversity in staff — especially at the executive level. This persistent racial leadership gap negatively impacts the career trajectories and well-being of Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC) and other professionals from historically marginalized communities who face systemic barriers that prevent them from pursuing pathways to executive leadership. 
Funding Information
The leadership grants provide up to $10,000.
