BackBlack 2025 Grants

BackBlack exists to support and celebrate Black-led nonprofits mobilizing their communities during Black Philanthropy Month (August). This is a no-strings-attached grant (unrestricted) — no separate application or report is required.

How It Works

1. Launch your fundraising campaign

Create a fundraising campaign using one of BackBlack’s official platform partners (see full list on our website) and submit it via the official Impact Grant submission form below. Your campaign can support any aspect of your work and does not need to mention Black Philanthropy Month — but it must be live and publicly accessible during August 2025.

2. Submit your campaign to BackBlack through the official BackBlack Impact Grant Submission Form

Submitting your campaign allows us to verify eligibility, track engagement, and consider your organization for funding.

3. Celebrate with us

Grant recipients will be announced in early September!

Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for the BackBlack 2025 Grant, your organization must:

1. Be a Black-led nonprofit verified in the BackBlack Directory

3. Submit your campaign via the official BackBlack Impact Fund form no later than August 31 at 8:00 PM EST

2. Host an active, registered fundraising campaign on one of BackBlack’s official platform partners during August 2025
