In today’s Race + Power newsletter, we continue our celebration of Black History Month by highlighting Black leadership. First, despite renewed attention placed on HBCUs, they face financial challenges. But a large grant directed at the United Negro College Fund offers hope. Next, a recent report from the Young, Black and Giving Back Institute paints a picture of what Black-led and Black-supporting nonprofits look like—and how funders can better connect with and support them. Then, a few pointers to make the sector more equitable by better supporting Black women in leadership. Finally, Building a Pro-Black World: Moving Beyond DE&I Work and Creating Spaces for Black People to Thrive has been named as Porchlight Book Company’s Best Business Books of 2023 in the category of Big Ideas and New Perspectives!
