Ottawa, Ontario & NY, NY – [June 20, 2025] – In celebration of Black Philanthropy Month, Auctria has partnered with Floyd Jones and the BackBlack Movement to spotlight, strengthen, and support Black-led and Black-benefitting nonprofits across North America. At the heart of this collaboration is a newly designed donation page—ready-to-use and customizable—created to help organizations raise visibility and revenue during the month of August and beyond.
Auctria's easy-to-use platform becomes the wind beneath the wings of these incredible nonprofits, empowering them to soar in their communities by simplifying the fundraising process.
“Black-led organizations are doing transformational work in communities across the country. They deserve tools that support their mission, their capacity, and their sustainability,” said Laurie Hochman, Director of Business Growth & Strategy at Auctria. “This partnership with Back Black is about ensuring those organizations have access to meaningful, accessible fundraising technology—when it matters most.”
The Challenge: A Deep Funding Gap
The need for focused support is urgent. As outlined by Floyd Jones of Back Black:
Of all community foundation funding, only 1% is directed toward Black communities.
Revenues of Black-led nonprofits are 24% smaller than their White-led counterparts.
Net assets for Black-led nonprofits are 76% smaller, limiting long-term sustainability.
Back Black exists to reverse this reality by directing capital, enhancing capacity, and amplifying awareness for Black-led and Black-serving organizations.
This collaboration with Auctria aligns with that mission—making it easier for nonprofits to build visibility, activate supporters, and collect critical donations during Black Philanthropy Month and throughout the year.
“We believe that philanthropy must be equitable,” said Floyd Jones, founder of Back Black. “This partnership with Auctria puts powerful tools into the hands of organizations that are often overlooked—so they can continue their extraordinary work with the support they deserve.”
