MICROGRANTS AWARDED

The Next Generation of African American Philanthropists (NGAAP), For Her: A Black Women Giving Movement for Black Girls, Cothinkk, and Circle of Joy recently received microgrants as a part of the Giving Circle Infrastructure Initiative campaign to strengthen, expand and diversify the movement of North American giving circles. 

The Next Generation of African American Philanthropists (NGAAP) will facilitate discussions about collective giving in African American communities across all 100 counties in North Carolina. NGAAP will partner with local organizations (e.g., nonprofits, faith-based orgs, colleges) across the state and hold a “table talk” in each county. These events, open to the public and broadcast on social media, will aim to expose, educate, and encourage African American communities to develop and duplicate collective giving models. 

For Her: A Black Women Giving Movement for Black Girls, Cothinkk, and Circle of Joy will collaborate to create an equity-centered toolkit for the giving circle field. This new partnership will develop a publicly-accessible guide for giving circle leaders that uses equity-centered design, a solution-focused and outcome-driven process that infuses history, research, and data; addresses power dynamics; and includes effective community engagement that builds power.
