Shifting demographics among donors, fundraisers, and the communities they serve call on nonprofit organizations to think about diversity on many levels. How can you connect with donors who are different from you? How does inclusiveness strengthen your organization? In this audio lecture, Gerald Richards and Dee Dee Nguyen explore these questions at the 2007 Nonprofit Boot Camp, reflecting on how to reach across the divides of ethnicity, culture, gender, sexual orientation, and other differences to strengthen bonds and create new opportunities. Their own stories are followed by comments from audience members, who share ideas on how to advance diversity in their own organizations.
Gerald Richards is the director of development for the Bay Area office of the National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE). He has more than 10 years of development and management experience and has worked at several nonprofit organizations, including the Chicago Panel on School Policy, the United Negro College Fund, and The Cradle Foundation. Richards earned his MFA in writing at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and his BA in film studies from Wesleyan University in Connecticut.
Dee Dee Nguyen is the development officer at the East Meets West Foundation, an NGO promoting sustainable development in Vietnam. She serves on the board of the Association of Fundraising Professionals Golden Gate Chapter and is the co-chair for the Northern California Chapter of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy.
