Close the Giving Gap

Season 15, Episode 1, Apr 09, 2022, 04:30 PM

Welcome Back to Blue Moon Vibes! The podcast that makes you laugh a lil' bit, cry a lil' bit, and think a lil' bit! My goal is to be the one that gives you more than you asked! I hope you can find value in these topics, and they become something that you talk amongst your friends and family about! Don't shy away from challenging issues because that is where growth happens! The change you want to see is the change you must create! We are worthy, we are tenacious, we are strong, and we are purposeful! The only way to erase the divide is to unite as a nation and treat each other as people, with respect and courtesy!

The Giving Gap

It's Series 15, Episode 1

THEY ARE BACK, GUYSSS!!! Lady Dee and Pid have rejoined us for this

season. So we began with catching you all up on our week. As you will hear, Lady Dee now does three jobs, and Pid Bid got an award! We can't believe it either, guys! We all know that PBid is a fantastic teacher, and it is well deserved. We will kick off each season with our For The Culture segment from now on. This season, we have Giving Gap, a non-profit organization supporting other non-profits. Giving gap gives support to non-profits who need it the most. Giving Gap boasts a strong foundation of 5 moral principles that drive its organization.

Amplifying Black Organizations

We use our platform and resources to amplify the critical work our fellow Black-led organizations are doing. By elevating visionary organizations, we connect them to key people opening doors for opportunities, funding, and partnership.

A Community-Focused Approach

We work to build collective power through the community as a bottom-up organization. We listen, seek input, are accountable, and use data to understand more deeply. As an intersectional group representing a vast array of causes, we work to find common ground that serves as a foundation for all to build off of. We empower each other to do better, work smarter, connect with more people, and raise more money.

Collective Black Brilliance

We are proudly Black-led and exist to support Black leadership and help Black leaders shine. We are intersectional and inclusive and honor the diversity within the Black community — working to uplift individuals along with our collective. We believe in building allyship across lines of difference to celebrate and lift Black brilliance in rooms and spaces where it has been absent. We celebrate the genius of our community, operate from a place of abundance, and believe in radical joy.

Aligning Money & Morals

We help people put their money where their morals are. We work to create cultural and mindset change for those interested in advancing racial equity, facilitating behavior change in how people are giving, who they're giving to, and the causes they're supporting.

Enabling Measurable Change

We aim to encourage and enable people to take action for Black lives. By facilitating tangible ways for people to donate, volunteer, and partner with Black-led organizations, we work to close the racial giving gap.

In my opinion, it is very humbling and heart-warming to have such a robust organization. Being a new non-profit and trying to navigate the nuances of the world of entrepreneurship, I am grateful for organizations like Giving Gap that gives me a voice and a platform to stand on. In today's time, as a black woman seeing the slowly closing gap of racial inequality in specific sectors makes me so happy. in the same breath, it reminds me that we still have work to do, but our progress is not in vain.
