Noelani Pearl Hernandez is the Vice President, Culture & Leadership at Charity Navigator, whose mission “is to make impactful giving easier for all “. Carly Bad Heart Bull is the Executive Director of Native Ways Federation, which “strengthen(s) the circle of giving by uniting Native organizations, supporting Native communities, and observing the highest level of ethical standards.”
Carly and Noelani join host Steve Boland to discuss equity in philanthropic giving. They talk about defining equity in this context, about organizations that are Native-led v. Native-serving, and what measures are changing when donors and philanthropy talk about seeking equity in giving. Carly contributed blog ideas on these topics on the Charity Navigator site.
Charity Navigator’s Encompass Rating system offers a holistic view of a charity’s effectiveness and reliability beyond just finances and dives into the overall health of a charity’s programs making it possible to present a full and fair picture of an organization. Carly encourages listeners to consider action via Native Nonprofit Day, a national giving day in coming back in 2024.
