The Race to Lead 2025 Survey explores how race, identity, and power continue to shape nonprofit work—and what’s changed over the past decade. Your anonymous input will help challenge assumptions, inform leaders, and strengthen calls for equity and accountability across the sector.

The #RaceToLead survey launches today! We’re calling on all #nonprofit staff to share your experiences by taking our 2025 Race to Lead Survey. Help us accurately understand what nonprofit staff are experiencing in this critical moment.

Our community of practice that supports those in NM nonprofits has been a great way to find support from others who are dealing with similar issues in a particularly challenging time. The thought shared in the graphic is just one great take away from August's meet up — there have been so many more!
