Funding Black-led and Black-benefiting nonprofits is a racial justice imperative. New research from the Young, Black & Giving Back Institute reveals that Black-led nonprofits receive significantly less funding than their white-led counterparts. More on the findings, and how philanthropy can fuel this essential work, at the link: https://lnkd.in/dTmdZXqE

More than 75% of Black-led nonprofits operate with budgets under $500,000 annually, many even manage on just $30,000 a year. These organizations play a critical role in Black communities and across the country. This #BlackPhilanthropyMonth, the YOUNG BLACK & GIVING BACK INSTITUTE calls on funders to do more to support #BlackLedChange in a new report: https://lnkd.in/eHRPrdD6 Here are a few interesting highlights from the report (again, just a teaser!): 📍 Volunteer-Driven: 43.5% of these organizations operate without paid full-time employees, and 45.6% lack paid part-time employees, highlighting their reliance on volunteers. 📍 Founder-Led: Almost three-fourths of the surveyed organizations are led by their founders, who tend to have over a decade of experience in the nonprofit sector (52.9%). Thank you to Ebonie Johnson Cooper for including me in this initiative!

At Equal Justice USA we kept seeing the same problem 😣: grassroots community leaders struggling to secure funding 💰💵💲. We couldn't find a good resource, so we built🏗️ one. From scratch. It took so many months and required so much work, but the team persisted because only 7% of philanthropic dollars are targeted toward Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and POC communities.
