In her insightful blog post, Huilan Krenn, WKKF director of learning and impact, explores the pivotal role of data in measuring impact and advancing racial equity. Embracing shared demographic data collection, with the participation of both funders and nonprofits, offers a more comprehensive understanding of the nonprofit landscape and can drive lasting change toward racial equity. It is an opportunity for collective action to foster understanding, create a just and inclusive society, and ultimately advance the philanthropic sector’s commitment to meaningful racial equity. Easing the burden on nonprofits, funders can and should encourage grantseekers to share their demographic profiles on Candid – for shared use among funders and ongoing data evaluation.
