The truth is, many people doing racial equity work often lack the support they need from their organization, board, or colleagues. That’s why our cohorts offer more than just strategies to advance equity — as Ericka Hines, Managing Director at EIC, says, we’re also building a real community so you don’t feel alone. Together, we thrive!

🖤 This Black August, as highlighted by our friends at Racial Equity Tools, we reflect on a decade since the tragic killing of Michael Brown by Officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, MO. First observed in 1979, Black August commemorates the murder of George Jackson, a Black Panther and advocate for prisoners’ rights.

At its heart, Black August is a movement for Black liberation—a time to honor those lost to systemic violence and to stand strong in the fight for justice.

We’re sharing this stunning illustration, “Dancing in the Moonlight” by @lorintheory, as a vision of what Black liberation can look like. 🌙✨

A recent @chronicleofphilanthropy article covers a new study which found that the more DEI strategies nonprofits employed, the more likely employees were to say they planned to stay in their jobs for the next three years.

“Equity work, at the end of the day, is about giving all of your staff what they need to thrive. There are benefits for retention, because when the work is done well, you’re making everyone feel included.” 
- Kerrien Suarez, President and CEO of Equity in the Center

Surprised? We aren’t. 

Grateful to our partners @buildingmovementproject for conducting this study of 3,000 nonprofit employees. Continuing race equity work is more important than ever! Link to article in bio.

Learn More About Us

We envision a future where nonprofit and philanthropic organizations are characterized by a Race Equity Culture™, meaning they implement and advance race equity internally while advocating for and centering it in work externally.

To achieve that future, we challenge colleagues to adopt specific tactics on the levels at which racism operates.
