According to the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), of the nearly 30,000 registered fundraisers, only 11% identify as non-white. This has created both overt and covert challenges when working to raise funds. Join us for a candid conversation on race and fundraising. Hear colleagues share their experiences as fundraisers of color from various backgrounds and career levels.
Program Outcomes:
- Increase awareness of the intersecting issues that impact successful fundraising among fundraising professionals of color.
- Increase awareness for the need to recruit fundraisers of color who can relate to diverse donor populations.
- Highlight best practices for moving towards a more inclusive professional organization.
- Recommend ways that leadership can create inclusive and diverse organizations.
- Understand ways each role within an organization can work towards a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace.
