The larger the nonprofit, the more likely it is run by a white man, says new Candid diversity report

White men are most likely to lead the largest, best-funded nonprofits, while women of color tend to lead the organizations with the fewest financial resources, according to a study from the nonprofit data research organization Candid.

“The State of Diversity in the U.S. Nonprofit Sector” report released by Candid on Thursday is the largest demographic study of the nonprofit sector, based on diversity information provided by nearly 60,000 public charities.

Aren't the financially largest non-profits either religion centric, which has a male leader bias anyway, or those fake money laundering ones that advocate for gun ownership or something shit?
- From the article ...
  The report found that environmental and animal welfare groups were least likely to have diverse leadership, with 88% having a white CEO. Nearly three-quarters of religious nonprofits had white CEOs, according to the report.

  Interesting! I wonder why that would be the case. Any ideas?
I didn’t see a link to the actual report on that site. Did I miss it?
