About Black Philanthropy Month:
Founded in 2011 by Dr. Jaqueline Bouvier Copeland, Black Philanthropy Month aims to “celebrate and empower Black funding in all its forms, from philanthropy to venture and business investment.” Today, this global celebration spans more than 60 countries—surpassing the reach of Black History Month. This year’s theme, “Afro-Futures of Giving,” invites us to explore innovative and forward-thinking approaches to philanthropy within the Black community.
All gender identities are welcome.
