15 Ways to Donate in Support of Black Lives & Communities of Color
Almost a month has passed since George Floyd’s murder, and as we mourn Floyd and other victims of police brutality, we must continue to reflect on how we can all do our part to create the change in the world we wish to see, no matter our race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or class.
Here at Sendoso, we know how powerful the act of giving can be. Charitable giving is a way to bring people together around a common cause and make a difference, and our Sending Platform empowers Sendoso customers to give everything from personal gifts to direct mail experiences to eGift cards with funds that can be donated to Charity Choice. Recipients of Sendoso Charity Choice eGift cards may select from hundreds of nationally recognized charity organizations, or search for local charities that could benefit from their support.
During times like these, it can be challenging to hold a “business as usual” mentality. Our company fully supports the Black Lives Matter movement, and would like to give you the opportunity to donate to an organization fighting for justice and equality for all.
If you are looking for inspiration and in a position to give, here is an excellent list of organizations to choose from:
Victim Memorial Funds
Organizations and Projects to Donate to Right Now
NAACP Legal Defense Fund
Equal Justice Initiative
Black Lives Matter
Campaign Zero
Check out some of their initiatives, and how you can donate today.
The Bail Project

Black Visions Collective
Know Your Rights Camp
Color of Change Education Fund
The Marsha P. Johnson Institute
The Loveland Foundation
The injustices against the Black community, coupled with the COVID-19 crisis, has made mental health and healing of the utmost importance at a time like this. The Loveland Foundation Fund provides financial assistance for Black women and girls to heal and attend therapy through a network of sponsors. https://www.instagram.com/p/CBOBPqwJd-_/
See here for a variety of ways to donate to the Loveland Foundation.
No matter where you decide to donate, your dollar will be assisting an incredibly important mission. And donations are just one way to show support. Whether you’re marching in the streets, amplifying Black voices on social media, signing petitions, calling your representatives, or reading books on anti-racism, or watching documentaries on Black history, continue to ask how you can be an ally in the fight for human rights both now and always.
At Sendoso, “challenging the status quo” and breaking down barriers are parts of our core values; they live within our DNA. We are proud to stand in solidarity with the Black community, communities of color, and all human beings in the fight against racism, injustice, and oppression.
