August is Black Philanthropy Month. You Can Be a Black Philanthropist.

August is Black Philanthropy Month, and You Can Be a Black Philanthropist.

The past holds the key to our future. As we navigate growing challenges—where DEI initiatives are under attack, and Black-led movements are being sidelined—we must draw strength from those who came before us. Sankofa Now! is more than a reflection; it’s a rallying call.

We remember our philanthropic roots, built on collective care and community-driven investment. We reclaim our power to shape our future, ensuring that Black-led change is not just recognized but sustained. And we reinvest in our people, our movements, and our solutions—because the future of Black philanthropy (and all humanity) depends on what we do today.

This isn’t just a Black issue—it’s a global issue. A thriving Black community benefits everyone. The fight for equity, opportunity, and justice strengthens our collective future, creating a world where everyone can prosper. Black philanthropy has always been a catalyst for change, and in a time when progress is at risk, we need all hands on deck.
