Race is everywhere. Real dialogue is not.

More than 30 years ago, Maxine Crump recognized something that remains true today: people wanted to talk honestly about race, but few spaces let them.

From that need grew the Dialogue on Race Original Series, and eventually Dialogue on Race, an organization dedicated to eliminating racism through education, action, and transformation.

Today, Dialogue on Race creates supportive spaces where people can speak honestly, listen openly, examine the historical and structural roots of racism, and grow in understanding together. No lectures. No debates to win. Real people, real history, and real dialogue.

This fall, we're asking you to help keep that conversation going.

Our goal is to raise $25,000 to strengthen Dialogue on Race's long-term future. Your support funds the day-to-day work that makes every dialogue possible, provides scholarships so cost doesn't prevent someone from participating, and gives us the resources to plan programs and activities for 2027 and beyond.

Every gift helps create another opportunity for someone to enter the conversation, whether they have been part of Dialogue on Race for years or are joining us for the first time.

Your support helps make possible:

Scholarships that keep Dialogue on Race accessible
Training and support for Dialogue on Race facilitators
Original Series and other Dialogue on Race programming
New activities and opportunities for engagement in 2027
The operational support necessary to sustain and grow this work

Dialogue on Race began because people needed a place to have a conversation they weren't having anywhere else. That need has not disappeared.

Help us raise $25,000 and keep the conversation going into 2027 and beyond.

Donate today, share the campaign, or participate in this year's online auction. However you choose to take part, you are helping sustain a space for open, honest dialogue on race.
