Welcome to Giving Black!
Celebrate Black Philanthropy.
About
Giving Black
Giving Black is a celebration of Black philanthropy, drawing on traditions of generosity among continental Africans and Africa's global diaspora in the Caribbean, Europe, the Americas, the UK, and across the world.
Philanthropy is the heartbeat of the world. It is a reciprocal exchange of generosity between people.
Black philanthropic customs are rich and deep rooted in African culture. From ubuntu, to harambee, from remittances to faith-based giving, from charitable donations, to everyday acts of generosity; we share stories about the power of Black philanthropy.
Stay tuned for further updates and information about The Giving Black Conference 2026.
The Giving Black Podcast is the world’s first podcast dedicated to Black philanthropy and generosity. Listen to stories that honour the culture and tradition of giving among Black people from the African continent, to the Caribbean, Europe, to North America, South America, and across the globe.
I may never be known as a philanthropist, but I certainly am a lover of mankind, and I will give freely of my resources.
