The Black Future Co-op Fund will close out its celebration of the legacy of Black giving, while inspiring increased investment in Black communities during Black Philanthropy Month with a final virtual event from 5–6:30 p.m. this Tuesday, Aug. 31 – “Where is the Money?”
In the wake of social justice uprisings, corporations, foundations, and individuals made pledges to address anti-Black racism and improve equity. However, while some money has been generated, many who made commitments have yet to fulfill those promises.
The virtual panel: “Where is the Money?” will explore:
-
- Why words without action perpetuate anti-Black racism.
- What is needed to move beyond words to create real change.
- How we can hold people, foundations, and corporations accountable moving forward.
This discussion will be live-streamed on the Black Future Co-op Fund’s Facebook and YouTube channel and will feature a not-to-be-missed collection of panelists, including:
-
- C’Ardiss “CC” Gardner Gleser, director of programs and strategic initiatives of Satterberg Foundation
- Afi Tengue, vice president of philanthropy and impact of Giving Compass
- Aisha Al-Amin, donor relations manager of Powerful Voices
- Victoria Santos, co-founder of BIPOC ED Coalition and co-executive of Young Women Empowered Moderated by Morgan Dawson, community advocate.
