Develop Africa - recently confirmed as a black-led and Black-benefitting organization

Did you know that Develop Africa is a black-led and Black-benefitting organization? 

GivingGap.org and https://backblackmovement.org/ recently officially confirmed this. 
 


Develop Africa is included in the Black-led directory list at the following link: https://www.nfggive.org/live/black-philanthropy-month-backblack.  

Black-founded nonprofits are powerful advocates for racial equality and justice, deeply rooted in the experiences of Black communities. However, only a tiny percentage of the $450 billion Americans donate yearly goes to Black organizations.  

 

Giving Gap is dedicated to empowering donors and funders to discover and support Black-founded nonprofits by connecting them with causes they care about. One of their goals is to ensure that Black nonprofits receive the recognition, resources, and opportunities they need to create a brighter future for everyone. 

To be eligible for the Giving Gap platform, an organization must be 

  1. An incorporated or fiscally-sponsored 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in good standing with the IRS; 
  2. Based in the United States; 
  3. Founded by a person or the majority of a collective of founders who identify as Black; 
  4. Have a mission that mobilizes positive action for Black people and communities, and 
  5. Have an active website with a URL link for donations.
