NEW UX – Program / Initiative FAQs

How does Reparation Generation work?

What is a Reparative Transfer?

A reparative transfer is a wealth transfer given directly to Black Descendants of Enslaved Americans from the Reparation Generation. This wealth transfer is not a donation or gift. While we understand the importance of philanthropy in advancing valuable programs and causes, making a Reparative Transfer is a conscious and intentional acknowledgement and way to reconcile the ways you, and perhaps your family, have benefited historically from slavery and ongoing structural racism.

 

 

Who can contribute to Reparation Generation?

Anyone can financially support Reparation Generation.  We raise funds from individuals, corporations and foundations for our initiatives to fund reparative transfers to Black Americans for wealth-building pursuits.

Is making a Reparative Transfer to Reparation Generation Tax Deductible?

Yes, Reparation Generation is a project of Multiplier, a tax-exempt nonprofit 501(c)(3) umbrella organization (tax ID 91-2166435).

Is there a minimum or maximum amount for a Reparative Transfer to Reparation Generation?

No. We appreciate contributions of any amount.

What happens after I make a Reparative Transfer to Reparation Generation?

You can expect the following once you’ve financially contributed:

  • Heartfelt appreciation from our Board, Organization, and Founders;
  • Periodic communications (e.g. quarterly newsletter, annual impact report, event updates) and volunteer opportunities based on the preferences you indicate in our RepGen Engagement Interest Survey.
  • Annual invitations to attend the RepGen Unity Gathering and to participate in our Participatory Action Research on Reparative Impacts & Community Engagement & Activation. When you share your unique experience and insights you co-create Reparation Generation’s strategy. We seek to continuously improve – and be informed by multiple participant perspectives.

How do you determine who is a descendant of formerly enslaved people?

Reparation Generation has relied upon Birth Records, Death Records, Personal Family Trees, DNA testing, as well as other attestations of family history.  Any Black person who can trace their heritage to people enslaved in the 48 contiguous United States is eligible for our reparative transfers program. 

Why is homeownership key?

Homeownership comprises the largest portion of Americans’ wealth, yet has been consistently less accessible to Black citizens. Reparation Generation (RepGen) believes that the American Dream of homeownership is a pathway to generational wealth that will address America’s racial wealth gap as well as generate a sense of stability, place and belonging. While our ultimate goal continues to be a Federal Reparations Act, we aren’t waiting for our government to act. RepGen’s founders set out to demonstrate reparative models that cultivate intergenerational wealth for Black people who descend from enslaved Americans. One model we are demonstrating and evaluating focuses on direct Reparative Wealth Transfers to Black Americans for Homeownership.

Why are you a Black-Led Organization?

We have an ethical responsibility to ensure that those who have suffered the most from the legacy of slavery are the ones guiding and controlling reparative efforts. 

By being a Black-led organization, we ensure that the voices, experiences, and perspectives of those directly impacted by slavery and its ongoing consequences are at the forefront of our work. This leadership is not just symbolic; it is crucial for driving authentic, effective, and meaningful change that truly addresses the historical and systemic injustices faced by Black descendants of enslaved Americans.
