Gumbs + Partners, like the nonprofit organizations we serve, is guided by a mission: to help strengthen and enhance the nonprofit sector by recruiting women and people of color to executive-level positions. Over the past nearly ten years approximately 65% percent of our placements have been people of color and/or women. The access we provide our clients to our domestic and international networks among people of color and women assists them in using the search process to create more diverse organizations. At Gumbs + Partners we believe that a successful search outcome requires a thoughtful and inclusive process. We are committed to quality, professionalism, and a highly collaborative approach to the search process. Collectively, our team has more than 75 years of experience working in the nonprofit arena, and we understand from direct experience the complex issues that organizations face during major leadership transitions. A woman of color-owned firm, Gumbs + Partners strives to make the search process a valuable learning experience for all involved. Our long-standing commitment to and experience in the nonprofit sector helps our clients recognize and manage the challenges they face as they experience leadership changes in a constantly shifting global environment. We believe that we provide a valuable service by helping our clients identify and implement new models of leadership that will keep them competitive and help them grow.
