About the Event

This Black Philanthropy Month, Giving Gap presents In the Black: Where Receipts Meet Reparations, an evening of truth-telling, storytelling, and community celebration.

At the heart of the event is a short film that combines:

  • Comedy sketches poking fun at our sector’s quirks and contradictions
  • Commentary from our CEO, bringing clarity and vision to the work ahead
  • Key insights from the State of Black Nonprofits Report — grounding the laughs in lived realities

Following the screening, we’ll have a talk back and spotlight the Giving Gap Community Sou Sou Fund: Georgia Edition — a new campaign rooted in ancestral savings traditions and built to fund Black-founded nonprofits through collective care.

This is not just an event — it’s a gathering of minds, hearts, and vision for the future of Black-led social change.

Join the Giving Gap Community Sou Sou Fund

In celebration of Black Philanthropy Month, we’re embracing ancestral traditions and collective care. We’re excited to launch the Giving Gap Community Sou Sou Fund — a campaign rooted in a timeless African and Caribbean tradition of shared financial uplift.

What is a Sou Sou?

A Sou Sou is a communal savings circle where everyone contributes, and the pot is shared equally. It’s built on trust, accountability, and communal uplift, values that have long sustained and empowered our communities.

This August, we’re channeling that same spirit to support nonprofits doing phenomenal work in Georgia.

How It Works:

  • Up to 10 nonprofits in Georgia (listed in the Giving Gap directory) join the campaign by contributing $100 each.
  • From August 1–31, donors contribute to grow the collective pot.
  • At the end of the campaign, 100% of the funds are equally split among all participating orgs

No competition. No gatekeeping. Just shared abundance.

This is what community-powered philanthropy looks like.

Be Part of the Movement - “Put it back in like .” - Jidenna

Your participation doesn’t just support one cause, it uplifts an entire ecosystem.

Donors: Help us grow the pot.
