Black Future Co-Op Fund To Commemorate Black Philanthropy Month Through Virtual Panel Series
SEATTLE -- As we enter a new month, the Black Future Co-Op Fund is taking the opportunity to celebrate the legacy of Black giving, while inspiring increased investment in Black Communities during Black Philanthropy Month. The KD Hall foundation joins in this month of recognition.
Throughout August the goal is to demystify philanthropy through a virtual panel series intended to bring together members of the Black community who are intimately involved with Black philanthropy with the broader community.
Governor Jay Inslee issued a proclamation naming August – Black Philanthropy Month in Washington. That proclamation recognizes the "rich history" Black Washingtonians have "of investing their time, talent, treasure and care for Washington'scommunities." Read the proclamation.
The KD Hall Foundation takes this opportunity to spread information on Black Philanthropy Month as we recognize Equal Pay Day for Black women (Tuesday, August 3), and encourage others to join in as Black philanthropic leaders explore the legacy of Black generosity and how we invest in a liberated future by, for – and with – Black Washingtonians:
Black Philanthropy Is Community Care - Tuesday, Aug. 17 | 12-1:30 p.m.
From Institutional Philanthropic Redlining to Black Sovereignty - Tuesday, Aug. 24 | 12-1:30 p.m.
Where Is the Money? - Tuesday, Aug. 31 | 5-6:30 p.m.
All Washingtonians can acknowledge and applaud the power of Black collective giving in our state. We invite you to join us for this virtual panel series to learn more about and celebrate Black philanthropy. For more information or to register, click the link.
