Mission Aligned

A resource hub and consulting practice for nonprofit and social impact leaders, with a particular focus on BIPOC-led organizations doing the most with the least.

The Numbers

Nonprofits serve communities that are disproportionately BIPOC, yet the sector's leadership and resources don't reflect that reality.

30%of nonprofit CEOs and executive directors are BIPOC
18%of nonprofits are led by BIPOC women and gender non-conforming individuals
54%lower median revenue for majority BIPOC-led nonprofits vs. white-led organizations
44%of nonprofits with expenses under $50K are BIPOC-led

These numbers matter because the organizations serving communities with the greatest needs are not necessarily the organizations with the greatest access to funding, infrastructure, or opportunities to grow.

We exist within the gap.

Nonprofits exist because the world is messy. Poverty, violence, displacement, environmental injustice, inequity, access to opportunity. None of these problems have simple solutions that can be solved with a five-year plan.

We talk about equity while operating within the nonprofit industrial complex and its inequitable funding systems. We ask organizations closest to a community to prove their worth to people who may never have experienced the problems they're addressing. We celebrate mission-driven work while often underfunding the people doing it.

Sometimes we work within those systems. Sometimes we push against them. Most of the time, we are doing both. Mission Aligned does not pretend those contradictions are not there. We believe nonprofit leaders deserve practical support for navigating them without losing sight of why they started in the first place.
