African-American Philanthropy
Philanthropic giving in the African-American community is not new
For 200+ years, African-Americans have donated their time and financial resources to groups and causes that promote the welfare of others
Examples include fraternities, sororities, social fellowships, Masonic organizations, churches and community caring
3 Patterns of African-American Philanthropy
Humanitarian aid: Designed to ameliorate individual & community hardship
Institutional development or self-help: Establishment of churches, schools, and commercial enterprises for black communities
Movements for social change: “From the abolition of slavery to the elimination of all legal, educational, and economic barriers to racial equality.”
(Source: Dr. Emmet Carson, CEO, Silicon Valley Community Foundation)
Current African-American Giving
A 2012 W.K. Kellogg Foundation study found:
2/3 of African-American households donate to organizations & causes totaling $11 billion yearly
African-Americans give away 25% more of their income per year than white Americans
(Source: Cultures of Giving: Energizing & Expanding Philanthropy by and for Communities of Color)
Increasing access to wealth by African-Americans presents the opportunity to “give back” to local & global communities both socially & economically through NPOs
Establishing successful NPOs that are properly organized & managed is a proven way to grow & equip the African-American community for the future
Why Start A Nonprofit Organization?
What is a Nonprofit Organization?
NPOs are corporate business entities established for a philanthropic purpose
The IRS definition includes 7 classifications: Religious, Charitable, Scientific, Testing for Public Safety, Literary, Educational, Amateur Sports and Prevention of Cruelty to Children/Animals
Starting Right Makes Sense
A NPO is a corporation governed by state law and federal law if it has a 501(c) classification
Developing business and strategic plans ensure effective operation of the NPO
Appropriate corporate structure and management impacts access to funding
Properly organized & managed NPOs attract people with proficient skills to lead & support the NPO
