More Like Us: A Summary of Data on Nonprofit Board Diversity and Inclusion in Central Ohio

In 2019, United Way formed a council consisting of experts from the public, private and nonprofit sectors to explore whether or not board training programs and other efforts had made central Ohio’s nonprofit boards more diverse and inclusive than we had seen on a national level . The council shaped the survey that went to United Way’s funded partner network, which netted an 83 percent organizational response rate from the 41 organizations. There were 806 board members surveyed, and 35 percent responded.

This is the summary of the survey. The initial findings indicated we had a lot of work ahead of us. This summary was a catalyst for a community conversation about creating the diverse and inclusive nonprofit boards we need to ensure everyone has the opportunity to succeed.
