Why is the NAACP asking about race on their internal paperwork ?

Race information is often gathered for the purpose of making sure that government guidelines regarding discrimination are followed. See:

If such data is not collected, how will one know if a company is discriminating on the basis of race or not?
As for this particular case, here is something that the NAACP has stated, according to CNN:
Quote:The NAACP issued a statement Friday on Rachel Dolezal's "enduring a legal issue with her family," saying, "We respect her privacy in this matter."
"One's racial identity is not a qualifying criteria or disqualifying standard for NAACP leadership," the group said. "The NAACP Alaska-Oregon-Washington State Conference stands behind Ms. Dolezal's advocacy record."
