GiveSmart Gives Back

Helping BIPOC nonprofit leaders build successful, sustainable organizations.

Did you know that even as the U.S. becomes increasingly diverse, the percentage of people of color in executive director and CEO roles has remained stagnant? We’re here to change that.

The Nonprofit Makeover teamed up with GiveSmart in a powerful collaboration aimed at fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion within the nonprofit sector. Through the GiveSmart Gives Back initiative, BIPOC leaders will receive the guidance and training necessary to overcome obstacles, amplify their impact, and lead their organizations towards sustainable success.

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 in 2023.  

"Through this initiative, we aim to address the disparities and challenges faced by BIPOC nonprofit leaders.


— Kristen Faith, CEO of The Nonprofit Makeover

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 all of 2024, one Smart Session, and discounted pricing upon renewal.
