FUEL THE MOVEMENT
Support The Nexus
The Black Nexus is built by us, for us. Your contribution sustains the heartbeat of our community — covering the platforms, tools, and programs that make it possible for everyone to belong. But it doesn’t stop there. Every gift also invests in our people: scholarships for students, mini-grants for Black creators and innovators, and support for community needs.
Why Give?
25% of your contribution sustains The Nexus — keeping the hub alive, events flowing, and ensuring a safe, joyful space for all.
75% goes directly into charitable programs that seed the future and uplift our community.
Together, we are fueling the movement, sustaining our story, and building a legacy. Giving is optional and all contributions go directly to sustaining our shared community. (Please note: We have applied for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status. Once approved, your contributions will be tax-deductible retroactively to our filing date.)
