How might impact-oriented entrepreneurs, professionals, and leaders actively build anti-racist organizations they want to see?
On February 25, 2021, during Black History Month, Future of Good is hosting hundreds of impact-oriented leaders from across the country in a half day event to celebrate the achievements of Black leaders in social impact and build an anti-racist social impact sector.
Summer 2020 saw a new and uniquely powerful uprising of the Black Lives Matter movement globally, and it reached Canada, where Black communities are underfunded, underserved, and underrepresented in social impact, entrepreneurship, and leadership positions. A recent study found that Black-led enterprises and Black-serving non-profits receive a miniscule amount of Canadian investment and philanthropic dollars.
What will it take to build anti-racist organizations, beyond diversity and representation? How can we all remove barriers to leadership positions and funding to accelerate Black leadership, as well as, reimagine our organizations in order to not further contribute to a broken system?
