SXSW 2024
Unlocking Flexible Capital for Black-led Organizations
Description:
Research shows that nonprofit organizations with Black leaders receive less funding with more restrictions, even though a critical mass serve Black communities. It’s time for a new approach to shift the narrative beyond a diversity and equity strategy — one that focuses on the unique strengths, expertise, and assets of Black leaders who are meaningfully guided by the communities they serve. This discussion will lift up strategies to scale and deepen the impact of Black social innovators in order to reimagine and rebuild systems of opportunity in America.
