Abstract: Public policy increasingly relies upon private philanthropic actors to meet community needs. However, nonprofits located in communities of colour may be disadvantaged in the private grants marketplace. This article examines the complex relationship between grantee location in a community of colour, board networks and the size of grants in public foundations in two metropolitan communities. Larger and better-connected networks are associated with larger grants; however, nonprofits located in communities of colour have smaller and less well-connected networks. These findings confirm the importance of network connections in the grant-making process and raise important questions for future research.
