Happy Black Philanthropy Month! Black Philanthropy Month is about celebrating not only Black organizations but also Black donors, Black foundations, and Black dollars. It's also about allies recognizing their critical role in supporting this movement. 

Black-led nonprofits receive substantially less investment than organizations that do the same work but have white leadership. The revenue of Black-led organizations is 24% smaller than their white-led counterparts, and their unrestricted net assets are 76% smaller.

In the latest episode of Nonprofit Nation, Julia sat down with Floyd Jones to talk about the growing movement of black philanthropy and funding, and why this movement is critical to racial equity.
