Equity Partners Program: Pro-Bono Partnerships Advancing Racial Justice
At Campbell & Company, we see every day how nonprofit organizations activate movements and help us all envision a more just and equitable world. It’s one of the reasons we love our work so much.
We also know that philanthropy itself brings up inherent questions of power, especially given inequitable access to wealth that has historically given more influence to larger donors and often benefited already-well-resourced organizations. The sector has often struggled with how to be anti-racist and fully inclusive of people of color, and we are committed to walking with our nonprofit partners in this work.
As such, we are inviting nominations for nonprofits engaged directly in racial equity work who might benefit from our nonprofit consulting services on a pro-bono basis. We are seeking partners who are committed to racial equity as part of their central mission.
