At the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund, we regularly get calls and emails from colleagues with questions about how best to support grantees to cultivate talent and leadership of their board and staff teams. They want to learn more about how to further the values of diversity, equity and inclusion in the sector, how to listen carefully to the needs of grantees, and how to manage the power dynamic inherent in the work of investing in nonprofit leadership.

The lack of information and guidance on the “how” of this work is part of what keeps philanthropy from making it the priority it needs to be. Indeed, over the last 20 years, just 1 percent of foundation dollars went to nonprofit leadership development.

Enter the Fund the People Toolkit. This rich new resource is full of information that will help funders, nonprofits and others maximize their investments in talent and leadership.
