Black Philanthropy in Britain
BCA advises on a ground-breaking new report examining patterns and motivations for Black giving
Britain’s first ever report into Black philanthropy and charitable giving, published last week, reflects the voices of people of colour in the UK talking about their patterns of giving, why they give, to whom and how much.
BCA's Relationship Manager Preeya Anand joined the Advisory Group for GiveBlack's latest report, ‘Valuing the Black Philanthropic Pound’; a study produced in partnership with UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose, drawing on an evidence base of focus groups and interviews held with Black donors, including high-net-worth individuals, and Black-led charitable organisations.
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.
This study is critical in telling the full story of philanthropic impact of Black donors/black-led charities in the UK - information which has historically been missing from wider philanthropy conversations.
With continuing disproportional social and economic impacts on Black communities, this is a timely study.
Congratulations to all involved; Patricia Hamzahee FRSA, Keith Magee, Yvette Griffith, and many more.
