Session Description: We’ve heard a lot on LinkedIn about diversity, equity, and inclusion in fundraising spaces . Come hear about Community Centric Fundraising and how it’s changing things in fundraising and philanthropy. We’ll learn about CCF and how it has helped BIPOC fundraisers find their distinct fundraising power. Let’s explore what it looks like in our own workplaces and in practice with donors, communities, and partnered organizations.

This engaging panel discussion will focus on several core topics surrounding hiring and retention from ALG’s popular digital series “The Great Rethink.” Our conversation aims to explore major shifts in the job market. People are looking for more diverse and inclusive work cultures, more flexible environments that give them a better work-life balance; they desire greater alignment of personal values and organizational mission; they’re looking for a closer match between the value of their contribution to an organization and the recognition they receive for it.

The search sector has experienced a renewed commitment to Inclusion, Equity and Diversity. How can the nonprofit industry realistically and impactfully move the cause forward to diversify leadership and teams through executive search and more inclusive internal hiring practices? And, what are people of color candidates looking for and what attracts them to your open career opportunities? Hear from leaders in executive search on what they’re looking for in candidates and how they are coaching employers to focus on true inclusion and equity.
