As Leigh put so eloquently, Giving Forward turns cachet into cash (for other nonprofits.) Our platforms use advertising and virtual events to generate revenue through content.
Global digital advertising revenue in 2019 was estimated to be $333.25 billion according to eMarketer. All of that revenue is driven by content consumption; the attention and behavior of consumers. What if great content combined with the passion that consumers have for their favorite nonprofit causes to harvest one billion in advertising revenue, converting it into cause marketing donations to nonprofits. That’s Giving Forward’s primary model.
Our second initiative is virtual events. Our event ticketing and production platform will allow tickets for a benefit event to be sold by any participating nonprofit. No longer will events ned to be single charity.

Harlem Dowling West Side Center is the successor to the famed Colored Orphan Asylum that was founded by White female reformers in 1836 and destroyed during New York City’s draft riots in 1863.  One of this nation’s oldest charities serving children of color and today, recognized as the longest surviving historically Black led child welfare organization in the country.  Located in the heart of Harlem, one block from the famed Apollo Theater with a relatively small annual budget ($4.5m in revenue), this well run organization provides local families with the necessary means and knowledge to become self-sufficient and engaged community members. They offer a wide array of family and child welfare services that are dynamic, holistic, and driven by the specific needs of those whom they serve in Harlem and Queens, including family preservation and child abuse prevention, service coordination for individuals with developmental disabilities, after school programming, and emergency food pantry services. A majority of the staff are from the area they serve and intimately familiar with its nuances and needs: they are trained professionals who care deeply about each and every individual they service and take great pride in the important work that they do each and every day. If you are interested in helping with Black Lives Matter, this could be the opportunity you have been looking for. Now that our board has met remotely since March, we are open to board members from outside the NYC area.

Below is a link to a New York Times article written about the riots that occurred in July 1863, where the Colored Orphan Asylum was attacked.
