Black people have long given time, talent and treasure to care for our communities. At the same time, white-led philanthropy has for decades systematically under-invested in Black communities. Hear from Black philanthropic leaders who are forging new pathways to self-determination in the face of persistent racism, and explore together how we create a liberated future.

Background

August is Black Philanthropy Month in Washington state and around the world. This month is an inclusive opportunity to celebrate the legacy of Black giving and inspire increased investment in Black communities. Throughout the month and beyond, the Black Co-Op Future Fund aims to demystify philanthropy to move toward Black abundance.
