Black Philanthropy Month

Black Philanthropy Month, observed every August, is a global celebration and concerted campaign to elevate African-descent giving and funding equity in all its forms. Since it was established, BPM has reached roughly 18 million people and become an increasingly year-round, diasporic initiative that illuminates the ingenuity and transformative impact of generosity in Black communities.
