Black lives matter—and Black lives could use your support, which is why myriad nonprofits have sprung up to buoy the enduring civil rights message and help give back to those suffering from racial injustice.

Sparked by the 2012 death of unarmed teen Trayvon Martin and the subsequent acquittal of his assailant, George Zimmerman, the Black Lives Matter movement began in 2013 and has since ballooned into an international battle cry taking on police-involved shootings of unarmed Black men. As the movement has grown, companies have stepped up with promises to donate to Black Lives Matter (BLM). After the May 2020 murder of George Floyd, for instance, companies pledged $50 billion in donations to Black communities and Black-owned businesses.

But some of that goodwill was performative allyship. A Fortune report found that only a fraction of the money has trickled down to Black communities. In other instances, copycat Black Lives Matter organizations have sprung up and siphoned money from the movement.

That’s why it’s more important than ever to know how to donate to Black Lives Matter. Luckily, countless nonprofits and organizations make it easy to donate to causes that align with Black Lives Matter or are adjacent to the movement. Many websites even feature an “in honor of” section, where you can dedicate your tax-deductible donation to a specific person.

How these BLM charities were chosen

These Black Lives Matter charities and organizations were chosen based on the criteria below:

Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation

55 Blm Charities And Organizations To Donate To Right Now Ecomm Via Blackllivesmatter.com VIA BLACKLLIVESMATTER.COM

Black Lives Matter‘s mission is to “eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes.” One thing worth noting: The for-profit organization recently came under scrutiny for its lack of financial transparency. In response, the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation has a BLM Transparency center on its website to post updates on their finances, statements and steps.
