Definition of people-of-color organizations: (1) people of color are the primary decision-makers and constituents; and (2) the mission and work are based on a race/ethnic consciousness. This definition is very specific. Excluded are non-people-of-color grantees that offer technical services or assistance to, or that have projects targeting or in partnership with, people-of-color groups. Also not included are organizations that work in predominately low-income, white communities that are controlled by and reflect their constituency.
