1 | LAST UPDATE: Thanks to your overwhelming support and interest we started an organization! Visit giveblck.org to find Black nonprofits to support and sign up for updates. You can submit a nonprofit here and contact us at hello@giveblck.org. Hi - I this list to create a comprehensive list of Black-founded nonprofits, which historically have been left behind in the world of philanthropic giving. Americans give $450 billion to charity every year, but only a tiny fraction goes to Black organizations, in part because there historically has not been an easy way to identify them. You can join the #giveblack movement (like #buyblack) by picking one (or more) of these organizations and donate charitable funds. Any questions email christina@allstarcode.org. Thank you. UPDATE: This sheet is now view only. Submissions here. Only orgs with a 501-C3 or fiscal sponsor are eligible. Follow @giveblck to stay tuned. | ||||||||||
