The Philanthropy Awards Luncheon is Nonprofit Connect's signature event, when we come together as a community to recognize extraordinary leaders in philanthropy. We celebrate the kindness of those who give back to Kansas City by awarding the Philanthropist, Business Philanthropist, Nonprofit Professional and Volunteer of the Year. To date, Nonprofit Connect has honored over 100 established leaders over thirty years. With more than 1,000 members of the nonprofit and business community attending every year, the Luncheon is Kansas City's oldest and largest celebration of giving. This is Nonprofit Connect's single fundraising event of the year, and the funds raised at the Luncheon allow Nonprofit Connect to continue to offer education, resources and networking so that area nonprofit organizations can more effectively achieve their missions.

GuideStar partnered with Equity in the Center - an organization that works to shift mindsets, practices, and systems to increase racial equity - to create this section. Learn more

Data
  • We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
Policies and processes
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
