The Race to Lead Survey from the Building Movement Project is back! This survey is extremely valuable to the nonprofit sector as it helps to gather important information on the intersection of race, leadership, and nonprofit culture. Please contribute to this important cause for the nonprofit sector by taking the survey today!

This year, the survey addresses some of the major social issues of the past few years, including COVID-19, the racial uprisings of summer 2020, and shifts in the political landscape. The survey is live and collecting data from thousands of people working for nonprofit organizations across the United States, so please add your voice!
