"This study is about telling the true story of philanthropy for Black people. I think there’s this hidden, underlying view that Black folks don’t give, when in fact we give greatly, and we give beyond our faith institutions. Often, we give because our lives or the lives of our loved ones have been impacted by an issue, and we give to that issue." — L. Robert BollingUjima Legacy Fund member L. Robert Bolling and SisterFund member Veronica Fleming both sit on the Giving Black: Greater Richmond study's steering committee. In our latest Q&A, these two leaders discuss the purpose behind the study and what this initiative will mean for the future of Black philanthropy in our region.

Happy Black History Month! The Giving Black: Greater Richmond Study is underway, and we couldn’t be more excited. Black philanthropy is a powerful force for good in our region and across the nation, and this study will give us the first set of baseline data about this giving in Greater Richmond. In this video from our 2019 Black Philanthropy Month celebration with SisterFund and Ujima Legacy Fund, local African American philanthropists discuss why giving is important to them.
