    2025 Communities of Color Index Report
    (2025-06-04) Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy
    The inaugural Communities of Color Index (CCI) is the first systematically generated landscape of charitable organizations in the U.S. specifically focused on serving communities of color. This first report includes giving data from 2012 to 2022, and offers crucial insights into the characteristics of these organizations and trends in philanthropic giving by individuals, foundations, and corporations. Fundraisers and nonprofit leaders can use the CCI to benchmark their organizations and inform fundraising strategies. Donors and grantmakers can leverage the CCI to identify funding patterns and gaps to guide their giving strategies. Additionally, the CCI serves as a resource for scholars and researchers seeking to explore broader trends in philanthropy and charitable giving to communities of color. The CCI is a project of the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy’s Equitable Giving Lab, an initiative of the school that measures charitable giving to historically under-resourced groups.

    Today, donor retention remains a challenge and an opportunity for many nonprofit organizations. The onset of virtual interactions and engagement due to the COVID-19 pandemic, supports the need for enticing, digital content that effectively present nonprofit organizations’ impact and their ongoing need for support. The second report in this series, Focus Group Research on US Donor Participation, highlighted the growing donor demand for increased engagement and education, and the need to demonstrate impact clearly. Subscription-based giving presents an opportunity to retain donors through curated content and engagement. The model also helps nonprofit organizations develop best practices and a strong culture around more personalized donor relationships and engagement that complements the organization’s efforts and mission.
