Census data suggest that the United States is more diverse than ever. Donors of color are also increasing their visibility and influence in philanthropy. These demographic shifts require that the nonprofit sector expand capacity to reach diverse donors and address long-standing issues of inclusion and awareness. The industry will need to strengthen understanding, engagement, and opportunities to cultivate a more inclusive and equitable philanthropic landscape.
During this virtual panel discussion, we examine the inclusive meanings and practices of philanthropy by focusing on the ways that diverse populations are increasingly investing their time, talent, and dollars to make meaningful change. We explore the question: How are changing demographics reshaping our understanding of donors of color and the philanthropic landscape?
