This second edition of the Diversity Among Philanthropic Professionals (DAPP) Report offers a snapshot of the philanthropic sector’s workforce in a very specific space and time — in the chaotic year that was 2020. The DAPP report aims to help the philanthropic community better understand its workforce and leadership. It is unique in soliciting anonymous self-reporting from individuals on the staff and board of participating foundations, helping grantmakers to accurately assess the culture and climate of their institutions.
Our Report to the Field for 2024 showcases an array of examples of public private partnerships launched in Newark with the collaboration of multiple partners. The Liaison led efforts to secure new funds for innovative solutions to homelessness, new approaches to economic security, increased access to programs for residents, and enhanced equity and access in our educational system. The Newark funding community took advantage of our Newark Funder Affinity Group meetings to structure an exciting new program to support Newark nonprofits through the lens of trust-based philanthropy. We remain fortunate to work in an environment of collaboration and alignment in Newark.
The Center for Non-Profits sought to explore the state of New Jersey non-profit staff and boards in terms of racial and ethnic diversity along with gender and other indicators. In late 2018, they conducted the New Jersey Non-Profit Compensation and Diversity Survey, a comprehensive examination of staff compensation, and of diversity in leadership and staff diversity in the state’s non-profits.
Their survey showed that the same diversity and equity problems documented elsewhere in the country are all too apparent in New Jersey also. The study underscores the enormous challenges facing the non-profit community to overcome deep- seated inequities in leadership, recruitment and retention.
This report contains compensation data for positions at community, private (family and independent), public and corporate foundations, and other staffed grantmaking entities.
