Givebutter Supports Black Philanthropy Month to Address Funding Gaps for Black-Led Nonprofits

What's Happening?

Givebutter is actively supporting Black Philanthropy Month by providing free fundraising technology and educational tools to Black-led nonprofits. This initiative addresses the decline in philanthropic funding for Black communities, which has dropped to 1.3% from nearly 2% in 2020. Givebutter's campaign includes donating $10,000 to Black-led organizations and offering resources to enhance donor engagement. The effort aims to empower nonprofits to overcome systemic barriers and increase visibility and support for their causes.

Why It's Important?

The decrease in funding for Black communities highlights ongoing challenges in achieving racial equity in philanthropy. Givebutter's support during Black Philanthropy Month is crucial in bridging these gaps, providing Black-led nonprofits with the tools and resources needed to thrive. By enhancing donor engagement and visibility, these organizations can better advocate for their communities and drive meaningful change. This initiative underscores the importance of sustained efforts to address disparities in funding and support for marginalized groups.
