The Catalogue for Philanthropy is hosting an upcoming BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) Executive Director cohort for nonprofit leaders to have peer-to-peer conversations on a variety of topics.

This cohort is designed for current BIPOC Executive Directors of locally-serving nonprofits, and a priority will be given to organizations with less than a $1.5M budget, although all are welcome to apply. Organizations must be headquartered in the DMV and do the majority of their work locally. This cohort will meet six times this spring, and will meet virtually via Zoom. The dates for the cohort can be found here. To sign up, visit https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/7165528/BIPOC-ED-Cohort-2023.
