When nonprofit boards face internal pressure to redirect funds toward reparations

Our nonprofit board is split on whether to allocate a portion of our general funding toward reparations rather than our usual programming, and the Black board members are frustrated that this is even a debate while others worry about mission drift.

More people experience this than they realize.
