At Sky's the Limit, we could not agree more. Philanthropy is rooted in structural racism, investing deeply in White-led nonprofits while severely limiting significant investments in organizations led by Black, Indigenous and People of Color. These practices keep community-led solutions at bay -- even as COVID-19 has exacerbated racial disparities in health and economic prosperity.

Key Points: 
  • This disparity is referred to as "the giving gap" and is a product of the significant wealth and societal oppression of Black people throughout history.
  • To illustrate, Black-led fledgling non-profits' average revenue is 24% lower, and unrestricted net assets 76% smaller, than that of White-led fledgling non-profits.
  • Philanthropy is rooted in structural racism, investing deeply in White-led nonprofits while severely limiting significant investments in organizations led by Black, Indigenous and People of Color.
  • Working in concert with other Black philanthropists, we can bring about meaningful change for under-resourced Black communities throughout the nation.
