As the NPQ team reflects on 2024, we offer some articles that made a lasting impression—articles that we hope offer insights to navigate the uncertainty ahead. These articles aim to uplift conversations and voices addressing urgent racial justice and leadership trends, including the alarming exodus of women of color from nonprofit leadership; the othering of immigrant communities; anti-DEI rhetoric; the financial instability facing racial justice nonprofits; and potential legal threats of policy proposals like HR 9495 for nonprofits of all stripes.

By spotlighting solutions, exposing systemic inequities, and equipping leaders in the sector with the tools needed to foster equity and resilience, we aim to support your critical work in critical times.

But we cannot do it without you.

If you believe in the power of a thriving, equitable nonprofit sector, we ask for your support today.

Your contribution ensures we can continue to amplify voices, spark transformative conversations, and provide the tools and insights necessary to meet the challenges ahead. Please consider donating today to support NPQ’s racial justice work.
