The recent social justice movements, specifically the BLM movement, drew attention to the lack of diversity, inclusion, and deep rooted inequities prevalent within educational institutions. In some ways, this allowed many education nonprofits, especially those who work with students from diverse backgrounds, to build their donor base. However, in other ways, many donors and companies preferred to donate to organizations with more immediate goals in terms of fighting racism as opposed to educational nonprofits, which have more long term goals.
