The organization’s final investment pillars, presented by staff and approved by the Board of Directors, will guide the shape of investments and partnerships in the future.
As part of its commitment to Equity in Leadership, UWGT commits to track and share racial and gender demographic data of internal and partner organization boards, executive leadership, and staff.
A re-examination of the organization’s funding portfolio shows:
80% of people served are POC but less than 20% of nonprofits are led by POC.
Male-led organizations hold 3x the assets of female-led organizations.
These disparities lead to the creation of 10 to Watch, which promises:
Specific funds for nonprofit leaders who are Black, LatinX, and/or Woman ($500K total investment over two years)
Provides dollars, leadership development training, and access to UWGT networks
