National Black Philanthropy Month, an annual month-long, global celebration of African-descent giving, was created in August 2011 by Dr. Jackie Bouvier Copeland and the Pan-African Women’s Philanthropy Network (PAWPNet) and is held every August. Five Facts to Know About Black Philanthropy 1. The practice of giving in the Black community has been around for centuries. 2. The term “philanthropy” does not fully embrace just how diverse the nature of giving is, in practice. 3. Black households donate a higher share of their wealth than white households. 4. Giving in the Black community comes in many different forms. 5. Black Philanthropy IS Philanthropy. #church #nonprofit #generis #generisteam #fundraising #giving #success #advancement #christianeducation #generosity #philanthropy

Philanthropy works to increase opportunity, especially to those historically excluded. The lawsuit against Fearless Fund is an attack on the rights of philanthropic organizations to give in line with their values, as protected under the First Amendment. Attempts to restrict the values-driven work of philanthropy impact so much great work happening around the country and in our region. This would have great consequences for initiatives like the grant we provided to revitalize small-town grocery access for rural residents in North Dakota.

What percentage of $11B will your organization secure this year? If you are a registered 501c3 with a program, your answer should be at least $10K in single donor contributions per year. If not...you need the Donor Hierarchy List (DHL) ™ The Donor Hierarchy List (DHL) ™ is our proven resource designed to help nonprofits build their $100K Donor List. It is especially important to the journey of nonprofit leaders and their boards because it emphasizes the importance of leveraging the right relationships at the right time with the right intentions. We just got news of another organization using the DHL to secure $15K last week. It can do the same for you, visit www.thebrandhospital.com to schedule an appointment to see how we can help your organization get on track to tap into that $11B donation pool using the DHL. #s2brandhospital #donorhierarchylist #nonprofit

💡 Philanthropic redlining perpetuates the discriminatory practice of unfairly distributing philanthropic funds while disregarding justice-centered Black-led institutions. Fueled by prejudiced beliefs that Black-led organizations are ineffective, inferior, and fraudulent, this practice has historically marginalized Black communities, depriving them of equitable access to philanthropic support and a voice in resource allocation. Rooted in the erroneous notion that solutions for Black communities must come from white-led nonprofits, philanthropic redlining fosters the misconception that all Black-led nonprofits lack the capacity to fulfill their missions. 👉 We reject the notion of 'capacity building,' recognizing it as a product of philanthropic redlining and a narrative that unfairly portrays Black-led nonprofits as inherently deficient. ✨ Our approach is grounded in envisioning success through partnerships with Black-led nonprofits. We engage these organizations by seeking their insights on what success looks and feels like to them and what resources they require to achieve it. Additionally, we inquire about how best to support them in navigating philanthropic culture. #philanthropy #philanthropicredlining #racialequity #blackledleadership

"What is critical for donors and funders to know is that because of their flexibility, 501(c)(4)s are a key strategy for Black-led movements. They keep vital community building work going year-round, but often face extreme dry spells in resources outside of tokenism and last-minute flow of resources during election season to turn out Black voters. Might we envision a radical shift where Black-led advocacy groups are on par in their funding with a 501(c)(4) giant like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)?"
