Initiatives
- Aspen Roundtable on Community Change - Structural Racism Initiative
The Roundtable began its work on structural racism in response to a call from leaders in fields such as community revitalization, social policy, anti-poverty, and philanthropy who were concerned about the racial disparities that they were observing in their work and frustrated by their inability to talk about race and racism, much less get a handle on it. It was commonly acknowledged among these leaders that although their work focused on low-income communities of color, they encountered very little discussion about race or racial issues or their effects on these communities and the children, youth, and families who resided in them. In order to directly address this need, the Aspen Institute Roundtable on Community Change developed The Project on Structural Racism and Community Building.
The Philanthropic Initiative for Racial Equity (PRE) began as a multiyear project intended to increase the amount and effectiveness of resources aimed at combating institutional and structural racism in communities through capacity building, education, and convening of grantmakers and grantseekers. It is now a project of the Tides Center.
Research Projects
The Leadership Learning Community partnered with the Annie E. Casey Foundation in 2004 & 2005 on a research project to draw on the combined experience of more than 100 leadership programs with regard to strategies for increasing the access to and sustainability of leadership positions for people of color in the sector. The first phase of the project led by Deborah Meehan was titled How"How to Increase Leadership Opportunities for People of Color - Phase I.docColor." The second phase of the project was titled "Multiple Styles of Leadership: Increasing the Participation of People of Color in the Leadership of the Nonprofit Sector"Sector," and was led by Elissa Perry.
