Virtual Conference 2026
Rooted & Rising — From The Soil To The Sky
An international gathering for philanthropists, funders, nonprofit leaders, community

Black communities are resourced and sustained.
WHY THIS GATHERING MATTERS
Inspiring conversations that lead to action.
Why does Giving Black exist?
The Giving Black network presents an international space for conversations about Black philanthropy, climate action, community leadership, and institutional change.
Black philanthropy has the power to inspire, influence, and transform. When practiced with intention, it builds stronger communities, funds vital causes, and shapes the future of our world.
Now in its sixth year, The Giving Black Virtual Conference brings together Black thought leaders, allies, funders, nonprofits, and community members from across the globe, united by a shared belief that Black generosity deserves to be seen, celebrated, and strategically deployed.
