GiveSmart Gives Back hopes to advance social good by providing BIPOC-led organizations with tools and resources to help them succeed in marketing, donor engagement, and fundraising at no cost.
Nonprofit Makeover University Scholarships
Nearly one in three executive leaders of color “often” or “always” felt they lacked opportunities for advancement, compared with fewer than one in five of their white counterparts. ² GiveSmart is partnering with The Nonprofit Makeover to provide learning opportunities to 10 BIPOC leaders.
The Nonprofit Makeover University teaches nonprofit leaders how to expand their revenue streams, provides training and support for improving marketing and digital marketing, and provides tangible tips for donor acquisition strategies, content creation, volunteer recruitment, and more.
GiveSmart is providing 10 BIPOC nonprofit executive leaders scholarships to The Nonprofit Makeover University.
GiveSmart Champion Grants
Over the past few years, most nonprofits have seen a significant increase in demand for services since the onset of the pandemic. That is more prevalent in those nonprofits led by BIPOC leaders, with over 64% of those organizations reporting a significant increase in demand.³
To meet that demand, nonprofits need a connected, modern fundraising platform. Three of the scholarship winners will receive free access to the GiveSmart fundraising and donor management suite for a full year, one Smart Session, and discounted pricing upon renewal.

GiveSmart Gives Back is proud to have provided several organizations that are addressing the most pressing social issues with access to our full fundraising suite that they may not have been otherwise able to access. We’re thrilled to also be partnering with the Nonprofit Makeover to offer long-term support for nonprofit leaders of color.
