Nonprofits are critical partners in the delivery of government-funded human services in the US, but there is evidence of a persistent racial leadership gap in the sector, whereby Black and Latino Executive Directors are dramatically under-represented. Why does this gap persist despite increased attention to this issue in recent years? And what organizational and community-level factors do shape the likelihood that nonprofits will hire a Black or Latino Executive Director (ED)? We answer these questions through a mixed-methods sequential design, drawing on survey data from 606 nonprofit organizations across the US, along with interview data from 12 nonprofit executives representing expert informants in the Chicago metro area. Consistent with theories of representation and publicness, we find demographic representation at the board level positively linked to the hiring of a Black or Latino ED, but government funding has inconsistent effects. We further elaborate on these findings through our qualitative data.

将非营利组织领导的弧线转向正义：种族代表性和组织公开性对多样化行政领导的影响

在美国，非营利组织是提供政府资助的人类服务的重要合作伙伴，但有证据表明该部门持续存在种族领导差距，黑人和拉丁裔执行董事的代表人数严重不足。尽管近年来人们越来越关注这个问题，但为什么这种差距仍然存在？以及组织和社区层面的因素做了什么影响非营利组织聘用黑人或拉丁裔执行董事 (ED) 的可能性？我们通过混合方法顺序设计回答这些问题，利用来自美国 606 个非营利组织的调查数据，以及来自代表芝加哥都会区专家线人的 12 名非营利组织高管的访谈数据。与代表性和公开性理论一致，我们发现董事会层面的人口代表性与雇用黑人或拉丁裔 ED 呈正相关，但政府资助的影响不一致。我们通过定性数据进一步阐述了这些发现。
