Black Philanthropy Month

 

August is Black Philanthropy Month (BPM) and this year's theme is "Love in Action" and "...focuses attention on the root meaning of philanthropy as love for all humanity, including Black people".

 

BPM is a global celebration and concerted campaign to elevate African-descent giving. Created by Dr. Jackie Bouvier Copeland and the Pan-African Women's Philanthropy Network (PAWPNet), BPM launched in 2011 to commemorate the United Nations Year and Decade of People of African Descent.
