The Power of Allies in Elevating Black-Focused Nonprofits As we celebrate Black Philanthropy Month, let’s talk about something crucial—the power of allies in lifting up Black-led initiatives. Non-Black allies have an incredible opportunity to make a real impact by sharing their resources, platforms, and networks. By doing so, they help these organizations gain visibility, secure funding, and achieve long-term sustainability. Take, for example, Black Empowerment Works (BEW), part of United Way of Cincinnati's Black-Led Social Change initiative. BEW is all about equity, focusing on Black self-determination, social mobility, and economic prosperity by funding grassroots, Black-led projects. Since 2020, BEW has invested over $5 million into 130 initiatives, with a mission to address the over-representation of Black families in poverty and to drive more investment into Black-led community solutions. Let’s keep this movement going strong and support Black-Led and Focused Nonprofits! #BlackPhilanthropyMonth #NonprofitSupport #BlackLeadership

As we celebrate Black Philanthropy Month, we need to recognize the vital role that Black-led nonprofits play in driving meaningful change within our communities. These organizations are often on the frontlines, addressing systemic inequities and uplifting those who have historically been marginalized. At Parkes Philanthropy, we are committed to supporting and amplifying the voices and efforts of Black-led nonprofits. These leaders bring unparalleled insights, resilience, and dedication to their work—yet they often face significant barriers to accessing resources and funding. As a Black-led consultancy, we’re proud to have also supported many Black-led impact organizations, including No More Under, Broadway Inspirational Voices, DAY CARE COUNCIL OF NEW YORK INC, Teens of Color Abroad and more. This month, and every month, let's challenge ourselves to do more than just acknowledge the contributions of Black-led nonprofits. Let’s actively invest in their success by providing the strategic support, funding, and partnerships they need to thrive. For example, we’re thrilled to see initiatives like BackBlack bringing that support to scale. Together, we can create a more equitable and just society for all. #BlackPhilanthropyMonth #NonprofitLeadership #EquityInAction

Today we explore how black philanthropy goes beyond financial contributions to Enhance Community Resilience. The multifaceted approach of philanthropy includes volunteerism, advocacy, and community organizing, fostering resilient communities that advocate for their rights and address their needs collectively. Even with limited financial resources, shared support and solidarity enable communities to thrive. Ways you can contribute as a philanthropist even without financial resources: - Volunteer your time to make a difference. - Advocate for organizations you support by amplifying their voice and connecting them with new opportunities. - Be the thread that connects individuals within communities, facilitating meaningful relationships and enhancing community organizing efforts.

Community-led organizations play a vital role in fostering economic empowerment in Black communities. These organizations not only address systemic challenges but also nurture local leadership, build collective wealth, and provide opportunities for sustainable growth. According to the 2016 report The Tapestry of Black Business Ownership in America, Black households hold just 1/10th the wealth of white households, a disparity driven by limited intergenerational wealth transfer. This stark inequality goes beyond rhetoric—it calls for transformative action.? Philanthropy is uniquely positioned to support these community-led efforts. Foundations like The Annie E. Casey Foundation and JPMorgan Chase have made meaningful investments in empowering Black communities. By providing sustained funding and amplifying the work of grassroots organizations, we can collectively drive systemic change, close the wealth gap, and uplift Black communities for generations to come.? Let’s champion community-centered solutions that build long-term economic power.? #EconomicEmpowerment #BlackCommunities #Philanthropy #WealthGap #RacialEquity #PincusFamilyFoundation #Community
