What is Privilege Offset?

And what do we do?

Privilege Offset is a social enterprise enabling people with privilege to do something real to offset it, to do more than offer a kind hearted post online. You can never completely offset your privilege, but Privilege Offset is the next best option. At Privilege Offset, we recognize three truths:

  1. Systemic Racism is as alive as ever
  2. Past racism affects African Americans and other minorities to this day
  3. We who are privileged to not be affected by this racism are just as much to blame if we don't do our part to help fix it

We issue Privilege Offsets, which are contributions from privileged individuals who recognize the need to fix our country's racism. Each Privilege Offset contributes to organizations dedicated to helping promote the welfare of African Americans and other minorities, as well as to our grant program for individuals and families directly harmed by racism.
