Pritzker could sign mandate prioritizing diversity in nonprofit leadership
The governor could soon sign a law mandating nonprofits disclose the demographic data of their board members.
The measure, according to the bill’s sponsor State Sen. Adriane Johnson, would only apply to larger nonprofits, those that provide $1 million or more in grants. Johnson said the goal is to give nonprofits an opportunity to have more diverse leadership.
“[With this bill] we will build upon the General Assembly’s previous efforts to highlight and elevate leadership, diversity, equity and inclusion in Illinois,” said Johnson. “This bill requires non profit organizations that provide $1 million in grants each year to report the demographic data on their public-facing website.”
State Sen Jil Tracy opposed Senate Bill 2930 on the floor and said this would be a burden on nonprofit organizations especially considering most board members are volunteers.
