New Jersey Non-Profit Diversity Report

The Center for Non-Profits sought to explore the state of New Jersey non-profit staff and boards in terms of racial and ethnic diversity along with gender and other indicators. In late 2018, they conducted the New Jersey Non-Profit Compensation and Diversity Survey, a comprehensive examination of staff compensation, and of diversity in leadership and staff diversity in the state’s non-profits.

Their survey showed that the same diversity and equity problems documented elsewhere in the country are all too apparent in New Jersey also. The study underscores the enormous challenges facing the non-profit community to overcome deep- seated inequities in leadership, recruitment and retention.
