Systemic Gap:
While CEOs typically use unrestricted capital to fund new initiatives, Black-led nonprofits have 76% less unrestricted capital than their white counterparts.
Investment: Provide Black and Latino-led nonprofits the implementation capacity they need to make strategic moves that advance their impact goals in the immediate-term and position them to access more capital and new networks longer-term.
