Key Lessons from Developing a Leadership Development Program with Racial and Other Forms of Equity at the Core

In a world experiencing rapid change, a COVID-19 pandemic, widening disparities, and growing frustration with racial inequity and social injustice, philanthropy needs to continue to cultivate and support leaders who can lead with equity at the core.
