Equitable Funder Pledge Progress Check

Thank you for committing to partnering with BIPOC nonprofit leaders in more powerful ways.

By signing the pledge, you and your organization are actively working to reexamine, reform, and rebuild your organizational practices to rebalance power and increase the flow of resources to BIPOC communities.

We appreciate you taking time to annually assess and share your progress

In holding yourself accountable to the four agreements of the pledge and sharing what’s working and what’s not, we can collectively move the sector toward equitable funding and racial justice.
