Journey Toward Racial Equity

The United Philanthropy Forum’s recent report, Journey Toward Racial Equity, examines philanthropy-serving organizations’ (PSOs) current internal work and external programming to advance racial equity. The report finds that PSOs internal efforts to advance racial equity are in the initial stages of development; PSOs most commonly referred members to external sources of information to support their understanding and advancement of racial equity efforts; alignment between PSOs’ internal racial equity efforts and their external programming was reported as a work in progress; and PSOs concentrated their resources on building either their external programming or developing their internal structures, policies, and practices – nearly none worked on both simultaneously.
