Campaign Pages are critical to nonprofits’ digital fundraising success. They describe a nonprofit’s fundraising objectives and surround it with motivational information to inspire donors to give. 

In our LIVE-ly Campaign Pages series, we showcase some of the tens of thousands of meaningful Campaign Pages we’ve seen. We also include some of our favorite things about each Campaign Page to highlight best practices. 

This month, we're sharing a list of active Give Lively–powered Campaign Pages that support Black and brown Americans in unique and crucial ways, in honor of Black Philanthropy Month. Celebrated every August, Black Philanthropy Month is a global campaign to highlight the rich history and ongoing contributions of Black communities to philanthropy and to inspire collective action for social change.  

This has taken on additional meaning this year, now that executive orders from the current U.S. administration have attacked and dismantled diversity, equity and inclusion programs within the government, which has triggered similar behaviors in the private sector. But we will not veer from the path of social justice.    

Take a look, gain some inspiration for your own Campaign Page and don’t hesitate to donate! 

The Campaign Pages

East Oakland Youth Development Center

Black Futures Ball 2025 Event Giving

The “Black Futures Ball” campaign is a yearly fundraiser supporting its Pathway to College and Careers program, which helps students matriculate into, fund and successfully graduate from college or credentialed vocational training programs. 

What we love about this page:

  • In-depth, evocative impact stories for each suggested donation amount 
  • The Recent Donations list offers social proof for prospective donors.

Nonprofit Enterprise at Work

Black Men Read

The “Black Men Read” program, fiscally supported by Nonprofit Enterprise at Work, uplifts Black men, children and communities using the rich tradition of oral storytelling to disrupt harmful narratives about Black people, especially Black men.   

What we love about this page:

  • The primary image brings donors into the moment.
  • Recurring monthly donations as the default frequency.

BlackStar Projects

Annual Fund

Donors to this Campaign Page directly support BlackStar Project’s Annual Fund. Blackstar Projects creates spaces and resources to uplift the work of Black, Brown and Indigenous artists by producing year-round programs including film screenings, exhibitions, an annual film festival, a filmmaker seminar, a film production lab and a journal of visual culture. 

What we love about this page:

  • It showcases an engaging, inspirational video that introduces prospective donors to artists who’ve experienced BlackStar Projects’ programs firsthand and share its impact.
  • The page description shares that “Your gift may qualify as membership or the Luminary Giving Circle,” then outlines the different membership tiers available to donors depending on the gift amount and frequency.
