A commitment to valuing the time and expertise of community members of color and of work group members is part of the foundation for creating an anti-racist organization. Asking BIPOC professionals to do work without adequate compensation doesn’t acknowledge the expertise and skills they bring and perpetuates systems of inequity. Acknowledging this, the expectation is that if you would like to consult with a work group member you will compensate them for their time, just as you would compensate a contractor to come in and help your market do strategic planning. As majority white-led organizations we can leverage our relationships with funders, educating them on why it’s important to fund this work.
