BackBlack campaign empowers Black Gen Z to redefine philanthropy

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The BackBlack initiative is a campaign aiming to reframe philanthropy for Black Gen Z by encouraging smaller, community-based donations. The initiative has directed over $12 million to Black-led nonprofits in the past three years and is now leveraging content creators to engage younger audiences. This effort seeks to empower Black communities to support their own organizations, countering the trend of concentrated wealth among major donors and de-prioritization of diversity in grantmaking.
