SHARE Omaha Spotlights Black-Led Nonprofits to Strengthen Community Giving

In an effort to increase visibility, volunteerism, and charitable investment, SHARE Omaha has curated and elevated a list of more than 30 Black-led and Black-benefiting nonprofits serving the Omaha metro.

The initiative aligns with SHARE Omaha’s mission to serve as the region’s trusted hub connecting nonprofits, companies, and community members through volunteerism and giving. Its vision is centered on cultivating a community where every act of generosity is celebrated, and every connection strengthens local wellbeing.

The featured organizations represent a broad cross-section of impact areas, including youth development, education, cultural preservation, economic empowerment, health equity, and community advocacy. By organizing these nonprofits under a dedicated category on its giving platform, SHARE Omaha is intentionally making it easier for donors and volunteers to discover and directly support their work.

Black-led nonprofits have historically played a critical role in advancing equity and addressing systemic barriers within their communities. Yet national philanthropic data continues to show disparities in funding distribution, with Black-led organizations often receiving a smaller share of institutional support.

By amplifying these organizations through a centralized digital hub, SHARE Omaha is addressing one of the most significant challenges facing grassroots nonprofits: visibility.

“… highlighting the powerful work of Black-led, Black-benefiting nonprofits, SHARE Omaha hopes to connect these 30+ local organizations with the volunteers and givers they need to continue their missions for years to come,” said Katie Fourney, Marketing & Communications at SHARE Omaha.

As a searchable resource, SHARE Omaha allows individuals and corporate partners to filter by cause, identify volunteer opportunities, and donate directly to nonprofits aligned with their priorities.
