At a recent gathering of state associations of nonprofits, we purposefully sparked a candid and invigorating conversation about diversity, inclusion, and equity. We know that similar conversations are happening all over – among grantmakers, in business board rooms, and throughout communities. As challenging as it may feel to have this conversation at your nonprofit, we encourage every nonprofit to strengthen itself by doing so, and not just among its staff members.

This conversation belongs in the boardroom, too.
