AUGUST NEWSLETTER

Black Philanthropy Month

August marks the 10th anniversary for Black Philanthropy Month (BPM) --- 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.

Give 8/28

 

On August 28, 2021, Collective 365 will be joining #Give828 for a national day of giving focused specifically on supporting Black-led and Black-benefitting organizations.

 

THE GOAL FOR THE DAY:

$5,000

 

 

Here's the plan:

A) Get 8 friends (or more) to commit to giving to Collective 365 on 8/28

 

B) Share on your social media that you gave to Collective 365 on 8/28 + invite your network to give

 

Support Collective 365 this #Give28, and help us raise $5,000 on August 28

(8am-11pm)

 

Consider giving one of these amounts:

$8.28  |  $18.28  |  $58.28  |  $80.28  |  $182.80

(or whatever your budget allows)
