The
Roundtable of Institutions of People of Color
The
Roundtable of Institutions of People of Color (The Roundtable),
a coalition of twenty-six Asian, black, Latino and Native American
nonprofit organizations, is committed to promoting programs that
will lead to capacity-building and survival of nonprofits in communities
of color. The Roundtable provides a place where groups of color
can explore where and how they fit in the new paradigm for governance,
in which government is being reduced and corporations and the voluntary
sector are being given an enhanced role.
As
far as we have been able to determine, we are one of the few groups
seeking ways for groups of color to shape a common agenda for the
future.
