AB-624 to require foundations to collect race and gender data
May 21, 2008
Liz Callahan, Executive Director of The CBO Center, has sent out an all point bulletin to the Non-Profit community to inform them about pending legislation of import. AB 624 would require private, corporate or public operating foundations with assets over $250 million to collect race and gender data related to their governance structures and staffing, and to the governance structures and staffing of their domestic grantees.
This bill is under consideration in the Senate Business, Professions and Economic Development Committee. It’s been held over until the end of May so that negotiations between foundations and the bill’s author can continue. This bill will have an impact on nonprofit organizations receiving foundation grants.
You are encouraged to review the analysis of the proposed legislation and to weigh in with your legislators. Senator Ellen Corbett (D-10) sits on the committee. If your nonprofit is headquartered in Senator Corbett’s district, we urge you to contact her and let your voices be heard.
