Charitable Giving

Curator's Note

We all know that giving helps others but studies have shown that it can actually boost your physical and mental health. In fact, studies have reported lower blood pressure, reduced stress levels and a surge in our feel-good neurotransmitters when we give of ourselves to others. I guess there’s some scientific proof behind “the joy of giving."

NATIONAL BLACK WOMENS HEALTH PROJECT INC
Atlanta, Georgia, United States

Details

The Black Women's Health Imperative (Imperative) is the only national non-profit organization devoted solely to advancing the health and wellness of Black women and girls across the lifespan.

 

The mission of the organization is to advance health equity and social justice for Black women across the lifespan through policy and advocacy, education, research and leadership development. Since the Imperative's beginning in Atlanta, Georgia, when it led the fight for a broader and more responsible reproductive health and rights agenda for women of color, it has become the leading force for the elimination of racial and gender-related health inequities that exist for Black women. 

 

The Black Women's Health Imperative's position on Black women's wellness is rooted in the belief that women have the right to bodily autonomy, and that the health of Black women must be addressed within the historical, socio-economic, political, and cultural context of their lives.

 

Additionally, because Black women are of the primary caregivers in our families, and primary decision-makers regarding our families' health, our wellness is key to the health of the Black community - with ripples for women and communities as a whole.
