You'd have to go through there tax records but from what I understand it's the "movement" rather than the specific organisation but here are the ones I'm aware of:

Democracy Alliance
Open Society Foundation (I'll post the PDF once I find it, it's called oct 2015 usp board book) but here's a screenshot:

Borealis Foundation/ Ford Foundation

Black-Led Movement Fund
Background


The Black-Led Movement Fund (BLMF), led by Borealis Philanthropy, is a collaborative and pooled donor fund established by the Ford Foundation and Anonymous Donors. In partnership with donors and activists, the BLMF aims to support philanthropic and field-building activities that strengthen the next generation of social justice leaders. Specifically, the collaborative effort supports the infrastructure, innovation and dynamism of intersectional Black-led organizing that have become integral components of what many call the Movement for Black Lives (M4BL).


The BLMF’s strategy is supported by two other components: the first is the Blackprint Strategy, a collaborative process underway to identify movement needs and resource priorities to bring $100 million in new resources to the Movement for Black Lives. The Movement Strategy Center’s Blueprint Philanthropies Project is facilitating this effort. The second component is the BLMF Organizational Development Initiative supported by Benedict Consulting and focused on supporting the organizational capacity building needs of a rapidly growing movement.


What We Support
The BLMF provides grants, movement building resources, and technical assistance to organizations working advance the leadership and vision of young, Black, queer, feminists and immigrant leaders who are shaping and leading a national conversation about criminalization, policing and race in America.



The BLMF does not currently accept unsolicited requests for support.



How to Support the Fund & Movement At-Large


The Movement for Black Lives needs significant long-term and large scale investment to advance the deep social change that is underway in our country.


If you are a foundation or a donor interested in learning about how you can make a contribution to the BLMF or become a partner in the fund, please fill out this contact form and someone from our team will get back to you.


If you are an individual seeking to support this important work, we encourage you to consider donating directly to the Movement for Black Lives Fund (M4BL Fund), one or more of our grantees or other groups this list of Black-Led racial justice organizations.

Black Alliance for Just Immigration (BAJI)

Black Lives Matter

National and Canada with 38 Local Chapters

Launched in response to the acquittal of George Zimmerman, BLM began as a call and demand that Black lives matter. Since then, BLM has grown to a network of over 3,000 individuals and 39 chapters that aims to fight structural racism, protect Black people from state-sanctioned violence, and hold police and prosecutors accountable for enforcing the law.










Blackbird

National

Blackbird emerged from the first 100 days of turmoil and action in response to the murder of Mike Brown in Ferguson, MO. As early as the second week of community uprisings, Blackbird helped create the conditions for collaboration among a crowded (yet divided) field of organizations and emerging leaders through the use of a coordination table. Our team helped establish the importance of developing collaborative spaces as the center of organizing during and after crisis moments and helped match intense protests at sites of decision making with methodical base building in working class Black communities. Currently, the project provides creative and strategic support in key regions through rapid response—plugging a critical gap in resources available to these formations and groups. Our rapid response model does not seek to create momentum where it does not exist, but rather follows the energy generated by local organizers.

Things have changed quite a bit since Malcolm. The vocal white liberals(young ones at least) are some of the weakest people I've ever seen. Hell, at least half of them will diss their own before messing with a black person, seems that A LOT of them don't like being white. The older ones might be different, I'll look into it. Thanks for the links, everyone.
