Mission
Changing the Practice of Philanthropy through Giving Black®
Our mission is to inform, reform, and transform the practice of philanthropy. We are bringing forth a paradigm shift in philanthropy from focusing on Black deficits to shining a light on our considerable potential and financial leverage in order to increase the assets in our communities with the power of Black philanthropy. We are doing this by creating a strong alliance between funders and Black communities. Along the way, we provide tools and resources to help foundations and other giving organizations make informed grant-making decisions about their support in our communities.
Give Black™ with NEBiP!
Our work is Giving Black® and that’s why we invite charitable and philanthropic organizations to partner with us in facilitating and supporting philanthropy in Black communities. We Give Black™ by working with these organizations to help them:
-
Raise funds for innovative projects;
-
Identify areas of need in the community;
-
Build sustainable operational models;
-
Educate the public about community needs; and
-
Build cooperative networks of donors and service providers.
We also provide grants to help like-minded organizations seed innovative new programs. If your organization is interested in learning more, please contact us, so that we can explore ways to Give Black™ together!
Intentional Philanthropic Investments
Give where the heart is
We seek to grow the social consciousness of affinity philanthropy so that both the individual and collective can “give where the heart is.” By assisting communities to understand the individual level of a cohesive, philanthropic social bond with a lens on diversity, equity, and inclusion, we strengthen philanthropic effectiveness. This is necessary because most communities lack the unique philanthropic perspectives of affinity groups. By collecting data from Black philanthropists nationwide (Giving Black®) and across affinity groups (including Black, Latinx, Asian, women, and LGBT) within a defined metropolitan area (Giving Cities), our Affinity Giving programs are enabling community foundations across the country to pursue more effective intentional giving.
LPE™ Research and Strategy Services for 2021
We are expanding our LPE™ research and strategy services to include more tools to help your organization.
LPE™ is a proprietary approach to philanthropic equity research and practice that examines perceived gaps inherent in intentional philanthropic investment opportunities among grant-making institutions and individuals serving diverse communities.
