Members of foundation boards are predominantly white, male and over age 50, and they do not receive compensation for their board work, a new survey says.
Eighty-five percent of board members at over 500 foundations responding to a survey by the Council on Foundations are white, 62 percent are male, and 74 percent are over age 50, with 19 percent age 40 to 49.
At family foundations, 16 percent of board members are under age 40, representing the largest share of board members that age among all foundations, says the survey.
