Last year, I compiled this list of 20 nonprofit and philanthropy blogs written by people of color, which is still the most viewed post on this site to date. Since it’s so popular for readers, I decided to update it with some more great bloggers of color writing about nonprofits, philanthropy and social change. I’m excited that this list has increased by 50% since last year, but I know there can be so many more of us out there sharing our voices! In the meantime, read the bloggers on this list – all brilliant, thoughtful writers and thinkers in the nonprofit field. And please add any that I missed in the comments!
Editors note: While I do recognize that there are numerous people of color who write about different niche social issues, what I was searching for were those that are offering thought leadership to the field of nonprofits, philanthropy and social change overall. A little more about who is and is not included here:
- Sometimes it is not easy to tell if a blogger is a person of color unless they self-identify. So again, if I missed some obvious thought leader bloggers writing about nonprofits & philanthropy, please do drop their blog link in the comments. I really appreciate it.
- You will notice that I have included here links to blogs authored by Jewish bloggers, although I recognize that while not all Jews identify as a person of color, many of them do. So I’m happy to include their perspectives here as well.
- I tried, for the most part, not to include bloggers of color that were writing exclusively under the auspices of any particular organization or institution, i.e. an African American blogging for the NAACP or something like that. I was looking for those who maintain thought leadership in their own right.
- You’ll also notice that most of these bloggers have a focus on nonprofits and philanthropy in the United States, which mirrors my own focus and interests for readers of this blog.
This list is in no particular order. You’ll also notice that I removed a couple of the original bloggers from this list because they had not posted anything new within the last six months. Hopefully, they’ll start writing again soon!
