New Philanthropists

The equity workshop series: these workshops provide diversity, equity & inclusion (dei) training and programming in order to help board prospects and members of color, and allies, and leaders navigate through nonprofit boards. They include: take the lead, intro to inclusive leadership, the equity chair part 1, and the equity chair part 2, austin history 2.0, and lgbtq+ inclusivity. Tnp has increased its programming through these workshops by offering them at nonprofit board retreats, publicly and through its corporate membership program which has strengthened sponsorship partnerships inclusive of h-e-b, capmetro, ilhigh, local and statewide conference sessions and more. As of 2023 tnp has held 35 workshops and had over 815 participants.

The board matching program: this program is founded in the values that support our mission to create a more racially diverse, equitable and inclusive nonprofit board sector. It provides placement opportunities for nonprofit boards and board prospects that focus on meaningful connections and focuses on authentic relationship building strategies. Tnp is capturing rich data through the application process and has seen that nonprofits that have been matched before are returning for more matches, as well that board prospects of color are opting to be placed on more than one nonprofit board. In 2023, 80% of board prospect applicants were placed on nonprofit boards and at the end of that year we had a total of 55 board placements on 38 nonprofit boards.

Other program activities include introduction to inclusive leadershiptraining, and consulting.
