Our Giving Cities Research
Our Giving Black® reports elevate Black giving in the region and provide quantitative and qualitative data on Black donors’ attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, and practices. In addition, each study offers two Give Black Alliance-developed frameworks to provide additional context and a deeper understanding of Black donors’ motivation: a Black donor typology and Linked Philanthropic Equity (LPE)® framework offer a pathway for an intentional Black giving strategy. Each study intends to provide current data to inform and catalyze conversations, discussions, and debates on the present and future of Black giving in the region.
