2.5: People of Color (POC)
Offer a forum for capacity builders of color to share experiences and work to expand the presence of people of color in the
Alliance and in the field, as well as catalyzing change in the field, the nonprofit sector, and ultimately the larger society.
Other Information:
The POC group is currently in the process of defining and advancing “cultural competency” in nonprofit capacity building—which
will result in a book, professional development activities, and peer exchange. By gathering people of African, Asian, Latino,
Native/American Indian ancestry, and other people of color, the POC group accelerates peer learning, challenges business as
usual, and generates ways and means to honor the journey of these groups in the Americas through capacity building practice.
Recognition, resources, multi-ethnic collaboration, mentoring, marketing and partnership are all tools. In so doing, the group
seeks to transform nonprofit capacity building into a force for progressive social change.
