According to research conducted by the Young, Black & Giving Back Giving Institute, Black-led nonprofits are often grassroots, hyper-local, and grounded in their communities. They do a lot with limited resources, addressing economic security and supporting neighborhoods and families. Yet, they face significant funding disparities, with 24% smaller revenues compared to their white-led counterparts. Additionally, 50% of executive directors of color report a lack of relationships with funding sources, a barrier to securing necessary support.
