The countdown is ON!


Support black-led and benefiting nonprofits today. Make a gift to a cause you love and find new ones to support along the way! 2024 marks the seventh year the Young, Black & Giving Back Institute (YBGB) will promote financial giving for Black-led and Black-benefiting nonprofits! The giving begins on August 28th at 8am ET.




Black-led and Black-benefiting organizations serve as essential first responders to community crises and deserve comprehensive support to unlock their full potential!

Give 8/28 is a unique giving event with the specific purpose of lifting up Black-led nonprofit organizations. Mightycause is proud to be the platform partner for this event and support organizations that are Black-led and Black-benefitting!

August is Black Philanthropy Month, which celebrates and amplifies Black giving, encourages investment in Black-led nonprofit organizations and shines a light on the importance of continued investment in Black philanthropic leadership and funding equity. There are huge disparities when it comes to revenues and unrestricted assets between white-led and Black-led organizations. A recent survey by the Nonprofit Finance Fund found more white-led nonprofits receive unrestricted funds as compared to Black-led organizations.  White-led nonprofits were also more likely to receive corporate donations — 71% vs 58% for Black-led nonprofits -- have revenue from sales and funding from the federal government and investment income. Black Philanthropy Month highlights these disparities and promotes financial giving for Black-led and Black-benefitting nonprofits. Give 8/28 builds on the momentum created by Black Philanthropy Month with days of giving for Black nonprofits.  And it is tax-deductible as well.

Please join the Greatest MINDS in this giving campaign today.
