re·sil·ient /rəˈzilēənt/adj.: a dope nonprofit able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions.
In 2025, we’re celebrating the unshakeable spirit of Black-led nonprofits. The ones that bend, but don’t break. The ones that keep showing up — for the culture, the community, and the cause — even when the odds are stacked against them.
Resilient isn’t just a word. It’s our legacy.
It’s the elder who started a youth program with nothing but faith and folding chairs.
It’s the Gen Z founder running a mutual aid fund from their phone and kitchen table.
It’s every budget-stretching, grant-juggling, joy-holding, impact-making nonprofit that refuses to quit.
This Give 8/28, we honor the bounce back.
The brilliance. The Black-led.
Because being resilient isn’t just surviving — it’s creating, thriving, and making a way outta no way.
