In recent years, diversity advocates have organized a national campaign aimed to get environmental organizations to reveal data on the demographic characteristics of their institutions publicly. Environmental organizations are urged to be more transparent and put their data on GuideStar (renamed Candid). Past research indicates that as of 2018, less than 4% of the organizations have done so. Still diversity and transparency campaigns focus on the disclosure of data on Candid. Despite the push to get environmental nonprofits to disclose their demographic data, scholars and diversity advocates have not investigated if and how organizations are collecting and revealing demographic and other types of diversity data. This article addresses this gap in our knowledge about the collection and disclosure of diversity data by environmental institutions. The article reports the findings of a national study of 516 environmental organizations that analyze the following questions: (a) To what extent do environmental nonprofits collect diversity data? (b) What kinds of diversity data do organizations collect? (c) Why do organizations collect or refrain from collecting diversity data? (d) Where do organizations disclose their diversity data if they collect any? The data reported here was collected in 2018. The study assessed if organizations collected data on 12 different diversity metrics. The study found that 31.4% of the nonprofits collected or tracked data on at least one metric. The nonprofits are also more likely collect data than to divulge them. That is, 25.8% of the organizations said they shared data on at least one diversity metric. The results show that a much higher percent of organizations collect and reveal data than are currently disclosing such data on Candid. The research also found that organizations are more likely to collect data on their boards than on their staff and the nonprofits are more likely to share diversity data with funders and their boards than any other kinds of external or internal sources. The findings suggest that in crafting diversity and transparency campaigns, more attention should be paid to the kinds of data that organizations do collect, as well as where and how they reveal such data.

近年来，多样性倡导者组织了一场全国运动，旨在使环境组织公开披露有关其机构的人口统计学特征的数据。敦促环保组织提高透明度，并将其数据放到GuideStar（重命名为Candid）上。过去的研究表明，截至2018年，只有不到4％的组织这样做。多样性和透明度运动仍然集中在坦诚数据的披露上。尽管推动环境非营利组织公开其人口统计数据的努力，但是学者和多样性倡导者尚未调查组织是否以及如何收集和披露人口统计数据和其他类型的多样性数据。本文解决了我们在有关环境机构收集和披露多样性数据的知识上的差距。本文报告了对516个环境组织进行的一项全国研究的结果，该研究分析了以下问题：（a）环境非营利组织在多大程度上收集多样性数据？（b）组织收集哪些种类的多样性数据？（c）为什么组织要收集或不收集多样性数据？（d）如果组织收集多样性数据，该在哪里披露？此处报告的数据收集于2018年。该研究评估了组织是否收集了12种不同多样性指标的数据。研究发现，有31.4％的非营利组织收集或跟踪了至少一项指标的数据。非营利组织也更有可能收集数据而不是泄露数据。也就是说，有25.8％的组织表示他们共享至少一项多样性指标的数据。结果表明，与目前在Candid上公开此类数据的组织相比，组织中收集和揭示数据的百分比高得多。该研究还发现，与其他外部或内部来源相比，组织比其员工更可能在其董事会上收集数据，并且非营利组织更可能与资助者及其董事会共享多样性数据。研究结果表明，在开展多样性和透明度运动时，应更加关注组织确实收集的数据种类以及它们在何处以及如何揭示这些数据。该研究还发现，与其他外部或内部来源相比，组织比其员工更可能在其董事会上收集数据，并且非营利组织更可能与资助者及其董事会共享多样性数据。研究结果表明，在开展多样性和透明度运动时，应更加关注组织确实收集的数据种类以及它们在何处以及如何揭示这些数据。研究还发现，与其他外部或内部来源相比，组织比其员工更可能在其董事会上收集数据，并且非营利组织更可能与资助者及其董事会共享多样性数据。研究结果表明，在开展多样性和透明度运动时，应更加关注组织确实收集的数据种类以及它们在何处以及如何揭示这些数据。
