Summary:

"GiveBLACK, is the brainchild of four UK-based Black women in senior leadership roles in the arts, education and business. Althea Efunshile CBE, Yvette Griffith, Patricia Hamzahee FRSA and Sue Woodford-Hollick OBE aim to galvanise Black philanthropy as an intentional source of support for organisations serving Black communities and advocating for racial justice and social change. They have collaborated with UCL Culture to publish Britain's first ever report into Black philanthropy and charitable giving, which was published on 26 July 2022.  ‘Valuing the Black Philanthropic Pound’, a study produced by GiveBLACK, in partnership with UCL with research conducted by VSA associates, draws on an evidence base of focus groups and interviews held with Black donors, including high net worth individuals, and Black-led charitable organisations. The report is funded by Arts Council England, the Hollick Family Foundation, the Paul Hamlyn Foundation and the Young Vic. Black Britons have a strong history of giving and volunteering through churches, mosques and other community organisations, as well as a tradition of supporting extended family members in the UK and beyond. Yet, except for a few widely publicised individual acts of philanthropy by Black celebrities such as Marcus Rashford and Stormzy, Black giving in Britain has remained largely hidden until now. With continuing disproportional social and economic impacts on Black communities, this is a timely study. GiveBLACK wanted to examine the extent and focus of Black giving in the UK and understand what ‘giving back’ means to the Black community. The report also seeks to galvanise identity-based philanthropy by ensuring Black donors are recognised as a vital source of financial support for Black communities and wider society...."
