Equity in Investment Opportunity for Early Childhood Leadership

Event Takeaways

On the call, we discussed big picture findings of ECFC commissioned qualitative interviews with 21 Black not for profits leaders who benefit Black children and their families. These organizations were located in 10 states and included six national organizations. The interviews revealed opportunities and challenges in five areas: infrastructure, relationships, strategies, leadership, and investment. The themes from the interviews led to four recommendations: determine the benefit to Black children and families of investments; explore past and current practices or experiences with Black leaders within Foundations; expand networks to include more Black Leaders and increase funding for organizational capacity within Black-led organizations.
