Inclusion Principles
Every possible path to victory requires communities of color to be inspired and mobilized. Through the Donors of Color Inclusion Principles, we will actively support organizations that target communities of color and indigenous communities, mobilizing, persuading, and registering voters. We invite others to sign on to the following principles, committing to a new approach to politics and movement building.
Inclusion Principles
-
Allocate at least 30% of their overall 2020 budget to spending in communities of color and indigenous communities or on behalf of candidates and/or communities of color
-
Fund organizations led by people of color and indigenous people, with attention to women of color led organizations, with relevant expertise to carry out programming in communities of color and indigenous communities.
-
Build Leadership: Ensure that all vendors, consultants, and partner organizations are either owned by people of color or include people of color in senior leadership roles with substantive decision-making and spending authority
-
Hire senior staff that includes people of color and indigenous people with substantive decision-making and spending authority.
-
Produce an end of cycle report that is publicly available and confirms the organization complied with the Principles and provides details on how they achieved compliance.
