Item Everyday Donors of Color: Diverse Philanthropy During Times of Change(2021-08-25) Osili, Una; Banks, Patricia; Bhetaria, Sarah King; Boddie, StephanieAcademic research on philanthropy across diverse communities has up to this point received limited attention. Many questions remain unknown, including what motivates the giving practices of diverse donors, where they choose to give, and what specific tools and techniques donors of color are utilizing to enhance their giving. In addition to focusing on the giving practices of diverse donors in general, this is also an opportune time to assess the specific ways that diverse donors gave in response to the ongoing and projected impact of COVID-19 on marginalized communities.Item Nonprofit Board Composition, Engagement, and Leadership in Central Indiana(Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, 2024-01) School of Philanthropy, Indiana University Lilly FamilyNonprofit organizations in central Indiana strengthen local communities and provide opportunities for engaged citizens to volunteer to serve on nonprofit boards. The extent to which demographic factors and board composition affect the board’s performance is a growing area of interest and research. Building on previous work about board engagement and diversity on a national level, this study examines nonprofit board composition, engagement, and leadership especially as they relate to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) among nonprofits in central Indiana. The findings in this study align with other research about board diversity and its impact on organizational performance. Results for central Indiana indicate that boards with a higher percentage of non-White members and women strengthen board governance. Moreover, organizations that have embraced cultural diversity across several measures are more likely to have more engaged board members. Yet, for many nonprofits there seems to be a disconnect between attitudes about diversity and action.
