Accountability is critical for nonprofit leaders for reasons too numerous for this post. Listen in to this week's episode of Inspired Nonprofit Leadership to learn them and get valuable tips for how to foster accountability in your nonprofit. I'll post a direct link in the comments.

Recent research from the Florida Nonprofit Alliance and National Council of Nonprofits shows that the nonprofit sector is experiencing a workforce shortage crisis. Ongoing conversations with leaders who participate in our programming validate these findings. While it may be natural to assume this workforce crisis is primarily due to lean nonprofit budgets, there are steps every organization can take now to begin addressing these labor shortages. See the four strategic areas our CEO Charles D. Imbergamo, CFRE, recommends nonprofits focus on now: https://lnkd.in/dcCvP3P9 💡 We’d love to hear your thoughts and reflections in the comments!

A sobering update on nonprofit leadership diversity. Last year, Nonprofit New York’s report “In Every County, Across all Budget Sizes” found that BIPOC CEOs are underrepresented relative to population across NYC area counties. Now a new report from the Building Movement Project shows declining interest in leadership roles across the sector, especially among people of color. We need action to remove barriers for aspiring BIPOC leaders. It's time for boards, funders, and nonprofit leaders to step up. Let's build a more equitable sector where leadership reflects the diversity of NYC and the communities we serve.

The Nonprofit Professionals of Color Collective (“The Collective”) has sponsored a significant report titled "The Nonprofit Executive Leadership Labyrinth: A Behind the Scenes Look for BIPOC Professionals," authored by Paulina Alvarado Goldman and edited by Stephanie O. Oluku. This critical study unveiled on a webinar May 15th, 2024, co-hosted with the NJ Center for Nonprofits, addresses the systemic disparities that Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) face in securing nonprofit executive leadership roles and offers practical solutions to foster diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the sector. In a compelling letter within the report, The Collective Co-Founders Tyneisha Gibbs and Victoria Marie Fernandez underscore the necessity of dismantling the barriers impeding BIPOC advancement in nonprofit leadership. Despite ongoing DEI initiatives, many organizations, particularly larger and historically white institutions, fail to reflect the diversity of the communities they serve. The leaders advocate for creating safer and more inclusive environments that prioritize BIPOC voices and experiences. The report, drawing from interviews with nonprofit board members and recruiters from recent executive searches, reveals several key insights.
