Mapping Your Giving Responsibility
We invite you to use our self-assessment tool, Mapping Your Giving Responsibility, to help you determine how much to commit to giving as a financial partner participating in our Holiday Love ecosystem.
Mapping Your Giving Responsibility is designed to help you as a potential financial partner accurately locate your power and privilege within a system that disproportionately impacts Black single mothers, helping you to understand at which level to enroll as a financial partner.
Your responses to the self-assessment will help you to determine the amount of your participation based on your social location and financial resources.
With this tool, we are saying that Black single mothers and their children deserve more than our passive charity; they deserve our active, conscious, and intentional solidarity.
Consider the following statements:
I have access to some financial savings.
I am able to take time off for leisure or sickness and am still able to pay next month’s bills.
I can travel annually without financial burden.
If you answered yes to most of these statements, we invite you to enroll as a financial partner in Holiday Love at a monthly rate of $125.
Consider the following statements:
I rent or own a higher-end property.
My bills are on autopay.
I make most or all of my expendable purchases without checking my bank account.
If you answered yes to most of these statements, we invite you to enroll as a financial partner in Holiday Love at a monthly rate of $250.
Consider the following statements:
I rent or own multiple properties.
I have savings, investments, retirement accounts, and look forward to annual bonuses.
I can afford multiple vacations a year.
If you answered yes to most of these statements, we invite you to enroll as a financial partner in Holiday Love at a monthly rate of $500.

We hope that this self-assessment and thinking about your resources and social location in this way inspires connected and truthful giving. We believe that no matter your financial location, you can begin redistributing your resources today in both incremental and radical ways.
Thank you for being in solidarity with Black single mothers this holiday season.
