When nonprofit boards clash over taking political stances

Our nonprofit's board is debating whether to take a public stance on anti-trans legislation, and while we all identify as LGBTQ+, some board members worry about losing funding while others think staying silent is complicity, and we're gridlocked because everyone feels like their position is the only ethical one. The community is watching to see what we'll do.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group is paralyzed by competing definitions of responsibility to community versus organizational survival.
