This page will be a growing list of various non-profits and charities I’ve called out on my blog in addition to the ones on the main donation page. So if you’re looking for places to give, check out the list below:
- Black Visions Collective – “Black Visions Collective (BLVC) believes in a future where all Black people have autonomy, safety is community-led, and we are in right relationship within our ecosystems.”
- National Bail Out – “The National Bail Out collective is a Black-led and Black-centered collective of abolitionist organizers, lawyers and activists building a community-based movement to support our folks and end systems of pretrial detention and ultimately mass incarceration. We are people who have been impacted by cages — either by being in them ourselves or witnessing our families and loved ones be encaged. We are queer, trans, young, elder, and immigrant.”
- The Movement for Black Lives – “The Movement for Black Lives (M4BL) formed in December of 2014, was created as a space for Black organizations across the country to debate and discuss the current political conditions, develop shared assessments of what political interventions were necessary in order to achieve key policy, cultural and political wins, convene organizational leadership in order to debate and co-create a shared movement wide strategy. Under the fundamental idea that we can achieve more together than we can separately”
- NFC Momentum Fund – Karida Collins of Neighborhood Fiber Co recently raised $100,000 to start the NFC Momentum Fund, a donor-advised charitable fund at the Baltimore Community Foundation . The NFC Momentum Fund will be able to receive tax-deductible donations that will be dispersed to a variety of organizations working for justice, empowerment, and equality. At its heart, the Fund will allow her to focus giving to the areas that need it most.
- Prison Policy Initiative – “The non-profit, non-partisan Prison Policy Initiative produces cutting edge research to expose the broader harm of mass criminalization, and then sparks advocacy campaigns to create a more just society.”
- Fair Fight – I strongly believe that everybody should have the right to vote, and to vote with ease, no matter who they are or what they have done with their life. To my mind, anything that makes it harder to vote is a form of voter suppression and requires that people spend the time they should have spent investigating candidates and their stance on issues into just trying to be able to vote. “Fair Fight brings awareness to the public on election reform, advocates for election reform at all levels, and engages in other voter education programs and communications” because “Voter suppression of voters of color and young voters is a scourge our country faces in states across the nation.”
- Save Our Strays Pittsburgh – “Save Our Strays main focus is to improve the lives of homeless cats through TNR (trap,neuter,release) of unsocial community cats, and rescuing the friendly strays.We pull young kittens-old adult’s off the streets Pittsburgh and getting them fully vetted & into loving homes. We use some of our profits on community cats, for spay & neuter or injured ones that do not have anyone to pay their vet bills.”
