New York, NY—June 3, 2026. Candid is proud to announce the appointment of three distinguished sector leaders to its Board of Trustees: A. Nicole (Nic) Campbell, co-CEO and president of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors (RPA); Usama M. Fayyad, chairman and founder of Open Insights, an AI and data technology consulting firm; and Patrick Walsh, co-founder of Classy, acquired by GoFundMe.
“Nic, Usama, and Patrick bring a diversity of expertise that will help guide Candid into our next chapter as we seek to expand the data we provide and ways in which people access it,” said Ann Mei Chang, Candid’s president and CEO. “Nic’s work in social justice grantmaking, Pat’s , experience growing a fundraising platform, and Usama’s expertise in AI and data technology will be invaluable in helping us develop user-friendly ways to bring funders and nonprofits together through data.”
Before joining RPA in March 2025, Campbell founded and led the Build Up Companies, a federated group of companies focused on strengthening the capacity of systems change funders to transform life outcomes for historically marginalized communities. Previously, she served as senior director of operations and foundation counsel for Dalio Philanthropies, deputy general counsel and secretary for the Open Society Foundations, and associate general counsel for the New York Community Trust.
“I am honored to join Candid&#8217;s Board of Trustees. Candid plays such an important role in advancing transparency, knowledge, and trust across the social sector,” Campbell said. “At a time when strong institutions and reliable information matter deeply, Candid’s mission is more critical than ever. I look forward to contributing to the organization’s continued impact and to supporting a more informed, connected, and effective philanthropic ecosystem.”
Prior to founding Open Insights in 2008, Fayyad served as Yahoo!’s first chief data officer, founding and leading Yahoo Research Labs after the company acquired his startup in 2004. He has also served as global chief data officer at Barclays Bank and founding executive chairman at Oasis500, an early-stage technology accelerator. Currently he also serves as senior vice provost for AI and data strategy and the inaugural director of the Institute for Experiential AI at Northeastern University, where he is a professor at Khoury College of Computer Sciences.
“I am excited to be joining a not-for-profit institution that wants to leverage AI and data to deliver transparency and insights in this critical area for helping charitable organizations and funders do what’s right and useful to the communities they serve,” said Fayyad. “My passion for data and AI can hopefully help others to do good with tech.”
Walsh co-founded Classy in 2006 and grew it into a fundraising platform that helped more than 10,000 nonprofits raise over $5 billion before it was acquired by GoFundMe in 2022. He has focused on building infrastructure that helps mission-driven organizations throughout his career, leading initiatives focused on programmatic performance, outcomes measurement, and sector-wide collaboration. He also serves as a board director and advisor for Tap Cancer Out and as a Leadership Council member at Oxfam America.
“Candid has long served as critical infrastructure for the social sector, helping to advance transparency, trust, and informed decision making. In today&#8217;s environment, access to information alone is no longer enough,” he said. “As technology reshapes how knowledge is discovered, interpreted, and applied, I believe Candid has an increasingly important role in building the next generation of philanthropic intelligence—transforming trusted data into actionable insights that empower nonprofits, funders, donors, and policy makers to make better decisions and maximize their impact.”

Candid welcomes A. Nicole Campbell, Usama M. Fayyad, and Patrick Walsh to its Board of Trustees

New York, NY—May 27, 2026. Candid today announced that its Board of Directors has appointed John Brothers as Interim President and CEO, effective June 1, 2026. Brothers, who has served on Candid&#8217;s Board of Directors since 2024 and is a nationally recognized leader in philanthropy and the nonprofit sector, will guide the organization during a period of transition while Candid conducts a national search for its next permanent President and CEO. 
Brothers succeeds Ann Mei Chang, who announced her plans to retire in March, and has led Candid with vision and purpose, advancing the organization&#8217;s mission to increase transparency, strengthen civil society, and support the social sector with trusted data, research, and tools. Chang will continue to support the organization during the leadership transition to help ensure continuity and stability. 
&#8220;On behalf of the Board of Directors, I want to express our deep gratitude to Ann Mei Chang for her extraordinary leadership and enduring contributions to Candid and the broader social sector,&#8221; said Rhett Mabry, Chair of Candid&#8217;s Board of Directors. &#8220;Ann Mei has helped position Candid as one of the sector&#8217;s most important institutions at a time when trusted information, strong civic infrastructure, and collaboration are more critical than ever.&#8221;  
Mabry continued, &#8220;We are equally grateful to Candid&#8217;s staff, partners, funders, and nonprofit community for their continued commitment during this important moment in the organization&#8217;s evolution. John Brothers brings a rare combination of executive leadership, philanthropic expertise, operational experience, and deep sector relationships. His experience leading complex organizations and advancing innovative approaches to social impact will help ensure strong continuity and momentum for Candid during this transition. We are grateful for his willingness to step into this interim role in service to Candid&#8217;s mission and community.&#8221; 
Candid will launch a national search for its next permanent President and CEO in parallel with Brothers&#8217; interim leadership. 
&#8220;I have long believed that Candid occupies a uniquely important place in the social sector,&#8221; said John Brothers. &#8220;At a time when nonprofit organizations, philanthropy, and civic institutions face increasing complexity and pressure, Candid&#8217;s mission and credibility matter deeply. I am honored to serve in this role and excited to work alongside Candid&#8217;s exceptional board, staff, partners, funders, and community to advance Candid&#8217;s mission and serve the sector during this critical moment.&#8221;  
Brothers most recently served as President of the T. Rowe Price Foundation and T. Rowe Price Charitable, where he led significant organizational growth and expanded the organization&#8217;s philanthropic engagement. He also serves as a strategic advisor to organizations and technology efforts focused on social good and has held leadership and advisory roles with organizations including Independent Sector and NationSwell. Throughout his career, Brothers has been recognized for advancing public-private partnerships, philanthropic innovation, and cross-sector collaboration in support of stronger communities and civic institutions.

Candid announces Interim President and CEO leadership

Report from Candid and ABFE reveals that increased funding for Black-led nonprofits in 2020 was short-lived
New York, NY—April 7, 2026. Today, Candid and ABFE- A Philanthropic Partnership for Black Communities released <a href="http://doi.org/10.15868/socialsector.52067" target="_blank" rel="noopener">From Transaction to Transformation: Three Ways Foundations Can Invest in Black-Led Nonprofits for Lasting Change</a>, a new report examining trends in foundation funding for Black-led nonprofits between 2016 and 2023. The report outlines three ways philanthropy can move beyond short-term responses and toward sustained partnerships with Black-led organizations: increasing long-term, flexible funding, expanding access to philanthropic networks and decision-makers, and using institutional influence to challenge inequitable funding practices across the sector.
The findings reveal a consistent, challenging pattern: Black-led nonprofits, especially small organizations, are less likely to receive foundation funding, receive fewer sizable grants when they do, and are less likely to benefit from sustained funder relationships. The report further found that the broad financial commitments of 2020 to Black-led nonprofits led only to a temporary funding increase for large nonprofits.
The report builds on findings from ABFE and Candid’s December 2025 report, <a href="https://www.abfe.org/system/files/documents/2025-12/Holding-the-Line.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Holding the Line</a>, which documented how Black-led nonprofits are navigating growing pressure from funders and philanthropic institutions to soften or avoid race-explicit language in their work.
“Black-led nonprofit leaders are being asked to meet rising community needs while navigating an increasingly hostile environment toward race-explicit work, often without the flexible, sustained funding needed to build staff, strengthen infrastructure, or plan for the long term,” said Susan Taylor Batten, President and Chief Executive Officer of ABFE. “This cycle of short-lived transactional investments keeps organizations doing the crucial work in communities in constant survival mode rather than scaling the solutions our communities need. At ABFE, we see this as a call to action to mobilize Black philanthropic resources and ensure investment in Black-led nonprofits is recognized as essential to equity and justice for all.”
Drawing on historical grants data from 2016–2023, survey responses from over 3,500 nonprofits, and interviews with Black nonprofit leaders and foundation representatives, the report provides a detailed view of financial and social support for Black-led nonprofits.
Key findings from the report include:
<ol>
<li>Black-led nonprofits are less likely to be funded, especially smaller Black-led nonprofits. Across eight years of data, only half of Black-led nonprofits, on average, received a foundation grant compared to 70% received by white-led nonprofits, and when they did, they received fewer awards. Small Black-led nonprofits were the most likely to receive no foundation funding at all.</li>
<li>Post-2020 private foundation grantmaking was uneven and temporary. Although more foundations began supporting Black-led nonprofits during the racial justice uprisings, most of the increased funding flowed to a small group of large organizations, nonprofits with over $1 million in expenses, between 2020 and 2022, followed by a decline in 2023. The majority of small Black-led nonprofits, organizations with under $1 million in expenses, saw little to no funding change.</li>
<li>Many funder relationships remain transactional rather than transformational. Black nonprofit leaders report persistent barriers to building long-term partnerships, including limited access to networks, little feedback on rejected proposals, and discriminatory double standards that undermine trust. Unlike other nonprofits, small Black-led nonprofits relied primarily on first-time funders for support.</li>
</ol>
“Despite their years of impact, many Black nonprofit leaders report struggling to form sustained partnerships with foundations,” said Ann Mei Chang, CEO at Candid. “There’s a misconception that Black-led nonprofits received a windfall of funding following the 2020 racial justice movement. Data like this enables us to demonstrate what is actually occurring in the funding landscape and spark a productive, sector-wide discourse on what Black-led nonprofits need from private foundations.”
The research represents one of the most comprehensive organization-level analyses of foundation funding for Black-led nonprofits to date, combining quantitative data with in-depth interviews to illuminate both trends and lived experience.
“Our longitudinal analysis of hundreds of thousands of grants demonstrates a continued lack of investment in Black-led nonprofits, not only in terms of dollars, but in terms of who gets their foot in the door when it comes to foundation funding.” said Cathleen Clerkin, Ph.D, Associate Vice President of Research at Candid. “By combining this with qualitative feedback from the leaders of these organizations, we’re able to see not just trends, but also the lived experience and impact of prolonged disinvestment.”
ABFE calls on philanthropy to move beyond short-term responses and take concrete action. This includes increasing general operating support, particularly for smaller organizations, revisiting grantmaking criteria and decision-making processes that produce racially disparate outcomes, and ensuring Black-led nonprofits have equitable access to philanthropic networks and funding pipelines.
