The National Council of Nonprofits is currently urging nonprofits to consider how they can apply their often-stated values of diversity, equity and inclusion in their daily operations, including board makeup, staff diversity and the services they provide. Doing so, they believe nonprofits will reap the benefits of increased outcomes in direct services, capacity building and in the public sphere. The Council’s push for increasing diversity in nonprofit management and programming did not start with the public’s shock of witnessing George Floyd’s 8-minute slow death on social media and press on May 25, 2020. However, there is no question that it and other recent brutal assaults have heightened the urgency to expand opportunities within the nonprofit sector.
