Coalition Against Nonprofit Harassment and Discrimination

Employees and volunteers at nonprofit institutions work long hours to promote justice, but more often than most people would suspect, they face injustice in the workplace—racism, sexism, ableism, ageism, and heterosexism. That’s why a group (of anonymous animal rights activists) created the Coalition Against Nonprofit Harassment and Discrimination (CANHAD) in July of 2017. Tapestry supported their efforts and assumed the costs of maintaining CANHAD in 2024.

CANHAD was created with the understanding that reporting discrimination doesn't hurt a cause, but discrimination does. On this website, those who have experienced oppressions in a nonprofit can (anonymously) tell the world what happened. The information on this website helps scholars, activists, and nonprofits to understand the depth and scope of the problem, and it helps survivors to heal.
