Giving Gap
Together, we can close the giving gap.
Formed in 2020 as a response to protests calling for organizations to reform systems perpetuating racial and economic inequities, Giving Gap exists to advance racial equity in charitable giving and mobilize positive action for Black lives by connecting people to causes they care about.
The organization's founders, with a background in philanthropy and tech, redirected their frustrations after the tragic losses of 2020 into creating a free digital platform that centralizes all of the nation’s Black-founded nonprofits with the premise that supporting these groups is a critical piece in tackling systemic racism. What began as a spreadsheet of 50 groups has grown to over 1,200 Black nonprofits representing a wide cross section of issue areas.
We are building the movement to support Black-founded, not just in moments of crisis, but consistently so our communities may thrive!
Your support helps to keep our service free for all users and supports ongoing data collection and research to address racial bias in giving.
