Investing in Equitable Nonprofit Leadership Transitions
Leading Forward is a community of practice and resource hub that focuses on leadership transitions in the nonprofit sector, in particular those involving leaders of color.
What We Do
We provide guidance to funders in implementing practices that promote investments in more equitable leadership transitions. We provide connections, resources and a community that address practical needs around transitions, while working to catalyze a broader culture shift in the sector.
Why It’s Important
Organizations in transition–especially those led by Black leaders, leaders of color, and other leaders who represent the community they serve–are critically under-funded and under-resourced. They often face a trust gap and a “wait and see” approach from funders at the very moment when greater funding for operational growth and capacity building are needed most. We want to radically change this approach.
