Diversity in Philanthropy &FundraisingNonprofit organizations are embracingdiversity as a mission and orgaizationvalue. They are seeking to tap into theeconomic growth and power of Hispan-ics, African Americans, Asian Americansand other diverse population groups.There is an assumption of "one size fitsall." Diverse groups have identifiable,valuable and significant philanthropiccharacteristics and traits. Thereforefundraisers find that in order to be suc-cessful, they must tailor their fundraisingappeals to the prospective donors' cus-toms and sensibilities because US tradi-tional models and expectations ofcharitable giving don’t reflect philan-thropy in other cultures.
