Remembering Bill Russell

Giving Gap extends our heartfelt condolences to the friends and family of NBA and civil rights legend, Bill Russell, as they mourn his recent passing.⁠

People who knew him best say that Bill's understanding of the struggle is what "illuminated his life". This included his philanthropic efforts to fight racial and social inequity in Boston and around the country.⁠

In his honor, we've rounded up some Boston-based, Black-founded nonprofits that need your support.
