MNN is committed to racial justice and increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the Massachusetts nonprofit sector. This page provides resources for nonprofits seeking to address racial equity and inclusion within their organizations.
We plan to keep this resource page updated. We welcome your feedback here and suggestions of additional resources to list on this page here.
The Boston Foundation Racial Equity Capacity Builders Directory

Curdina Hill, Principal, ClearWays Consulting & Coaching, and Molly Mead, Senior Consultant, Praxis Consulting, helped to compile this resource. Click here to download the directory.
