African Americans donate approximately $11 billion annually to nonprofit organizations and charities — yet the person asking for the donation is most often not Black. According to the Association of Fundraising Professionals, 89% of fundraising professionals are white, while only 4% are Black. That picture may be changing in Hampton Roads! We introduce you to three Black women who are changing attitudes on inclusion in philanthropy. Stephanie Cuffee, Christy Hunt, and Vivian Oden are engaging major donors and raising funds for their organizations. They’ll share their personal journeys, their passion for fundraising and why representation matters in this field.
