Global Black Philanthropy Initiative
Support Black Charities (SBC), a Canadian registered nonprofit organization based in Toronto, is thrilled to announce the launch of the Global Black Philanthropy Initiative (GBPI) on August 1st, 2023. GBPI represents a new model for rethinking philanthropy in the Black community, specifically for the 130 member organizations listed on their online vetted directory, representing 20 countries.
GBPI is a month-long online fundraising event that harnesses the power of collective and focused giving, leveraging the emerging giving movement during Black Philanthropy Month (August) and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
Despite the existence of Black philanthropy for generations, disparities in revenues and assets for Black-led organizations persist. GBPI acknowledges the critical role of racial equity in the current giving landscape and is committed to advancing the needs of the Black community through strategic partnerships, collaborations, dedicated giving, and collective action while promoting race-conscious giving.
Through GBPI, SBC aims to recognize the accomplishments of its member organizations working towards the 17 SDGs. For the launch of this initiative, SBC has categorized every organization under the appropriate SDG that most closely aligns with or support.
