The Privilege Institute

What The Privilege Institute does

The Privilege Institute (TPI) is a Green Bay, Wisconsin-based nonprofit organization founded in 2014 by Dr. Eddie Moore Jr. to expand the scope and reach of the White Privilege Conference, which Dr. Moore launched at Cornell College in 1999. TPI operates a portfolio of educational programs centered on diversity, equity, inclusion, and antiracist leadership, with a stated mission to empower individuals to work for peace, justice, and equity. Its core products are the annual White Privilege Conference (WPC) — the flagship offering that draws over 1,000 attendees annually from the US and at least five international markets — supplemented by the invite-only Power, Privilege & Leadership Symposium (PPLS), the regional White Privilege Symposium (WPS), the Youth Action Project (YAP), the STEAMVE$TMENTS financial-literacy and career-exposure program (day seminars plus a 2026 sleepaway camp at Church Farm School), the TPI Antiracist Certificate (launched 2025), the Understanding & Dismantling Privilege peer-reviewed journal (hosted on Scholastica), a Speakers Bureau for Everyday People, a Global Travel Initiative, and the trademarked 21-Day Racial Equity Habit Building Challenge.

The organization has 11-50 employees and is governed by a board of directors that includes academics and practitioners affiliated with institutions such as Northern Illinois University, the University of Iowa, and The Ohio State University. TPI is a member of the Consortium of Equity Conferences alongside the National Race Amity Conference, the Social Justice Training Institute, the NAIS People of Color Conference, and the National Summit for Courageous Conversations. Customer segments are persona-based and span educators, social workers and counselors, healthcare and corporate professionals, faith and community leaders, activists, and middle and high school youth; segment pricing is not publicly disclosed.

TPI is funded by grants, fees for service, program sponsorships, merchandise sales, and individual donations; it accepts appreciated stock, property, and planned giving. STEAMVE$TMENTS seminars carry a stated $1,000 per-attendee value but are provided free to participants via sponsor underwriting. No revenue figures, financial statements, or institutional investor relationships are disclosed, and TPI operates as an independent nonprofit with no parent company or subsidiaries.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ): National network mobilizing white people for racial justice through trainings and action-oriented programming. Comparable audience and educational mission, with greater emphasis on grassroots organizing than TPI's conference model.
• Social Justice Training Institute: Member of the same Consortium of Equity Conferences as TPI, providing professional and personal development for social justice educators. Comparable niche focus, with overlapping speaker and audience pools.

Broad incumbents

• Facing History & Ourselves: Large nonprofit providing classroom resources, educator professional development, and events on identity, race, and historical oppression. Comparable educator focus and youth pipeline, but at materially greater scale and scope.
• National Conference for Community and Justice (NCCJ): A larger, longer-established interfaith/intergroup justice organization offering DEI workshops, youth programs, and consulting across the US. Comparable audience and mission but operates at a broader geographic scale and portfolio.

Direct peers

• Perception Institute: Research and consulting organization focused on implicit bias, race, and justice, producing applied research plus workshops for media, education, and corporate sectors. Comparable research-to-practice pipeline and audience overlap with TPI.
• America & Moore LLC: Founded by Dr. Eddie Moore Jr. in 1996 as a separate diversity and leadership training company; closely aligned offerings (including hosting the 21-Day Challenge) make it the most direct peer even though it operates as a for-profit consulting entity.
• Interaction Institute for Social Change: Boston-based social justice education and consulting organization offering workshops, coaching, and curated events on race, power, and equity. Comparable in mission, workshop delivery model, and target audiences.
• Equity in the Center: Nonprofit focused on racial equity in the social sector, producing frameworks, research, and capacity-building support. Comparable mission and target audience (nonprofits, funders), with overlapping audience for TPI's certificate and symposiums.
• Racial Equity Institute: Provides antiracist training workshops and institutional consulting using a similar 'grounded analysis of racism' framework. Directly comparable as a DEI/antiracism education provider targeting educators, institutions, and community organizations.
• Crossroads Antiracism Organization & Training: Designs and delivers antiracism training and organizational change consulting for schools, congregations, and nonprofits. Highly comparable to TPI's mix of workshops, symposiums, and institutional DEI training.
