"Less than 1% of the revenue that Greater Boston nonprofits serving women, girls and gender-expansive people reported in 2024 went to groups prioritizing girls and women of color.
Why it matters: Those groups' leaders reported being understaffed, overworked and less supported than other nonprofits, according to a new report from the Boston Women's Fund and UMass Boston.
The findings come six years after U.S. business, philanthropic and political leaders pledged to address racial inequities.
State of play: Grassroots leaders, who often experience racial and gender inequities themselves, are tackling large systemic problems affecting women and girls of color with fewer resources than their white and male colleagues."
