Evans, senior director of public policy at United Philanthropy Forum, share how nonprofits can help more Americans participate in voting through nonpartisan voter engagement.

While 10% of nonprofits have CEOs with disabilities, representation declines with organizational size, from 20% of the smallest nonprofits to 3% of the largest. Our new report suggests that people with disabilities may face barriers in being hired at nonprofits and leaders may have obstacles when scaling their organizations. Here is what we know about nonprofit leaders and staff with disabilities, including insights from Sandy Ho, executive director of Disability & Philanthropy Forum, Ariel Simms, president and CEO of Disability Belongs, and Anna Koob, senior lead researcher at Candid.

Do you know someone who would loan you $3,000 in an emergency? 72% of white families said yes, compared to 41% of Black families. This leaves the latter exposed to and reliant on lenders with exploitative interest rates. Devin Murphy and Zachary Slobig of The Bridgespan Group, explore how one of the drivers of the racial wealth gap is the disproportionate debts, fees, and fines placed on communities of color. But philanthropy can change this. They share how interventions like Stable Home Fund and Esusu help these communities get relief from debt and build credit.

Are nonprofits trusted? What about when it comes to handling innovation and technology? This report explores these questions and more. The 2024 Edelman Trust Barometer investigates the influence of trust across government, media, business, and nongovernmental organizations. Here are some of the major findings from this year's report: 1. Respondents in over half the countries surveyed don't trust nonprofits to do what is right. 2. NGOs are seen as more ethical than business, media, or government. 3. Low-income respondents don’t trust institutions to integrate innovation into society. 4. Two in five respondents say innovation is poorly managed. 5. Listening to the public is essential to earning trust in NGOs. Explore these highlights and get access to the full report on Candid insights.
