Now, majority-white organizations are soliciting Black and other non-Eurocentric individuals to come into this system that was not designed to include them. Much like the cultural appropriation of a people’s customs, this is essentially attempting to appropriate other cultures’ wealth. So, to avoid this unfortunate trend, before you launch into a campaign or new program to attract Black donors and dollars, I recommend you ask yourself and your organization these important questions.
Because nonprofits are operating with fewer resources and staff, everything and everyone needs to be more efficient, more streamlined, more productive to make a bigger impact. To hit goals that are constantly growing, even when your staff is not increasing in capacity. But it doesn't need to be that way.
