The Nonprofit Sector as White Space

In building up anti-racist organizational practice, we acknowledge that a huge swath of civil society exists as what NPQ Editor in Chief Cyndi Suarez called “white space” in this now-classic piece. She asks about the white-space-ness of the very work to address organizational inequity. “It shows up in who leads even in the design of racial equity change processes (usually it’s the white leaders who have “inadvertently” designed their own organizations as white space).” Read more…
