Giving Tuesday can feel incredibly overwhelming ... BUT, if you are looking to give, I highly suggest you donate to an org that is personally meaningful to you and/or you might have some direct insight into professionally. You want to feel connected to what you actually just gave to no matter how big or small. Below are some favorite non-profits that are pillars of their community, share often about the work they are active in, and I personally can speak to how great the leaders are running the ship :). Also, through Breakout's work we have gotten to know orgs from cities all across the US so if your org has a specific region // city // focus they are looking to give to and want some insights, would be happy to be a guide where I can. A quick 10 to check out, but there are so many: 1. Catapault Pittsburgh, led by Tammy Thompson (Pittsburgh) 2. GOODProjects, led by Darius Baxter (DC) 3. Take Control Initiative, led by Laura Bellis (Tulsa) 4. Cyber Collective, led by Tazin Khan (NYC) 5. Institute for AfroUrbanism, led by Lauren Hood, MCD (Detroit) 6. IRONBOUND Boxing, led by "IRON" Mike Steadman 🥊🏴☠️ (Newark) 7. Campaign for the Fair Sentencing of Youth, led by Xavier McElrath-Bey, MA (National) 8. D-Composed, led by Kori Coleman (Chicago) 9. Prizm Art Fair, led by Mikhaile Solomon --- go if at art basel! (Miami) 10. The Breakout Foundation, we do some cool things too :).
