Give a gift that goes beyond wrapping paper by donating to Black nonprofit organizations for Giving Tuesday.
As you dig into the last bits of Thanksgiving leftovers today, consider digging into your philanthropic bag today for Giving Tuesday. Every year, on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, nonprofit organizations take part in the “global generosity movement” hashtagged #GivingTuesday, encouraging those who are able to do good. 
Whether you choose to donate your time, resources, or money, these organizations turn your donations into a force for good. In this season of generosity, here are nine Black nonprofit organizations not only changing lives but also reshaping the narrative of impact. 
Founded by a diverse group of artists, community activists, and philanthropists, the Studio Museum of Harlem is a network for art inspired by Black culture and artists of African descent from all over the world. In support of its mission to amplify Black art, the museum hosts an 11-month residency program for three local, national or international artists. This Giving Tuesday, the museum is accepting donations for the construction of “the first building in its history created expressly for the needs of the institution and its communities.”

P4H Global is an organization committed to the sustainable and long-term development of vulnerable populations. Through its various training programs, the nonprofit works to empower local leaders, teachers, and organizations across the globe to create a lasting impact in communities. With the ultimate goal of redefining the world’s perspective on aid, P4H believes “donors and charity workers must move away from practices that only provide temporary relief and move towards evidence-driven aid that leads to long-term development.” Currently working to connect, equip, and empower the people of Haiti, P4H Global hopes to one day extend its efforts around the world. 
This Giving Tuesday, P4H Global will match donations up to $1,000 made between 9 am and 9 pm today. Click here to learn more!

Despite the growing number of Black women entrepreneurs, annual sales for Black-women-owned businesses comprise only one-fifth of those achieved by all women-owned businesses, largely due to a lack of awareness and support. Designed to bridge the gap for Black women business owners, the organization Buy From a Black Woman (BFABW) gives these entrepreneurs the tools and platform needed to help them succeed. In honor of Giving Tuesday and the three-year anniversary of their partnership, BFABW and the retailer H&M are encouraging shoppers to donate to the nonprofit’s mission
