Join us for this virtual session with Rusty Stahl, CEO of Fund the People on the Talent Justice Initiative, research and tools produced by Fund the People and the Center for Urban and Racial Equity to address the challenges and opportunities of investing in intersectional racial equity in the U.S. nonprofit workforce.
With over 12 million paid workers, nonprofits employ the third largest U.S. workforce. This means 1 in 10 people work in the nonprofit sector. Despite its size and impact, nonprofits face a chronic deficit of investment in their staff.
To further complicate matters, the nonprofit workforce struggles to attract, retain, and support people from racially, ethnically, and otherwise diverse backgrounds to build a robust and durable talent pipeline. Fund the People’s exploration applies an intersectional racial equity lens, builds upon important existing research about the sector’s inadequate efforts to diversify its executive leadership ranks. Fund the People tools look at nonprofit employees at various positions and stages in their careers—because the entire workforce is valuable.
