LeaderBridge is a program with three components:
1) Partnering with leadership program providers to integrate equity and inclusion practices and increase outreach to nonprofit leaders underrepresented in sector leadership.
2) Connecting nonprofit leaders of color to professional development opportunities.
3) Supporting a network of engaged nonprofit leaders of diverse backgrounds.
When women are in positions of power, economies and societies thrive. When women achieve representation, they exert positive influence and build power that combats structural barriers. Programs that support the leadership of women and girls are critical to our community flourishing.
At the Crimsonbridge Foundation, we are committed to building the power of women and girls and increasing their representation in leadership positions in all sectors.
