About our group

Black-led nonprofit organizations are best equipped to solve many of East Baton Rouge Parish and other minority communities' unmet needs, and have a legacy of providing the most critical programs and services; however, Black-led nonprofit organizations face many challenges and one of the most critical challenges that Black-led organizations face is systemic racism, which has resulted in being underfunded and underinvested.

According to an article, Who Has a Seat at the Table?, that was published on October 15, 2020 by Network for Good, “. . . organizations led by People of Color rely more heavily on grant funding while those with White leadership have larger budgets and receive a much greater portion of the total grants and grant dollars awarded. Even, for example, within organizations whose mission is to improve the lives of Black men, those led by White individuals receive more funding than organizations with Black leadership. Even when more Black leaders apply for and receive funding, the total funding dollars are considerably less than those received by White leaders. And organizations led by Black women receive the least.”

Black Charities are at the forefront of solving minority communities' challenges and their services and programs are needed more than ever. Let’s make sure that Black-led organizations can continue their missions and stay viable as well.

Black Charities Matter® will raise funds for community-based Black-led nonprofits that address the most urgent challenges our minority communities face.
