Giving Tuesday: Strengthening Black Immigrant Leadership Through Collective Giving
Giving Tuesday is here, and this year BDBC Services is shining a light on a project deeply rooted in community, collaboration, and collective empowerment: the Black Immigrant Capacity Building Project (BICBP).
For the past year, I have served as Vice Chair for this initiative, working alongside a dedicated team to support Black immigrant-led organizations across Philadelphia. Together, we’ve been learning how to strengthen our ecosystem through donor-advised funds, fiscal sponsorship, governance development, and capacity-building tools that help small organizations access the resources they need to grow.
As a second-generation Black immigrant, I’ve lived the reality of navigating systems without the cultural knowledge or institutional support that so many families need. Through BICBP, I’ve witnessed firsthand how funding, technical assistance, and community-centered leadership can shift the trajectory for grassroots organizations serving our people.
This Giving Tuesday, we’re inviting you to join us in expanding that impact.
Your contribution supports:
Training and technical assistance for Black immigrant-led nonprofits
Micro-grants that help organizations stabilize and grow
Leadership development rooted in culture, collaboration, and accountability
A stronger, more resourced ecosystem for our communities
Your support isn’t just a donation. It’s an investment in people who are building solutions, navigating complex systems, and strengthening Philadelphia’s Black immigrant community from within.
If you believe in equity, access, and supporting the leaders doing the work on the ground, I invite you to give today.
