Washington, DC — BoardSource has been tracking the demographic composition of nonprofit boards since 1994 through its signature research project — Leading with Intent: A National Index of Nonprofit Board Practices. In 2017, we learned that nonprofit boards are making little progress in diversifying their composition despite reporting high levels of dissatisfaction with current board demographics. This lack of progress and disconnect alarmed BoardSource and led the organization to issue a clarion call to action: Nonprofit boards must act now to provide stronger leadership on diversity, inclusion, and equity.
