#GIVINGTUESDAY
This year, we are spotlighting amazing, Black-led nonprofit organizations that are working diligently to dismantle the impact of systemic racism on our communities in their own unique ways. We invite you to connect with these organizations to begin building relationships and consider donating to support their missions on Giving Tuesday.
BLAC is a movement that builds Black power by providing education and resources that uplift our communities. Bringing some of the brightest and most diverse minds in the country together, we research the state of the Black community to develop tactical strategy to empower America’s Black ethos. Through strategic methodology, we work to dismantle systematic racism by creating systemic change, opportunity, and equity for African-Americans.

Class Act Detroit's mission is to empower youth via music and arts education, promoting racial healing and building community for future generations via the elements of hip-hop.

The program utilizes hip-hop culture (MCing, DJing, Dance, Graffiti, and Knowledge) as a tool for knowledge acquisition and liberation. Students master processes and acquire new skills through strategically designed projects and performances, and project-based, game-based, and hands-on experiences.
Redeem Detroit aims to revitalize neighborhoods in the city of Detroit by rehabbing vacant properties and using them to help the citizens in the neighborhood where they are located. Everyone deserves a second chance and that’s why Redeem Detroit trains at-risk youth (teen parents), homeless veterans, and returning citizens in vocational and job readiness skills to help them become entrepreneurs or provide job placement as well as connect them to the resources they need. In return, they help the program clean up the neighborhood and eliminate blight.
