ABOUT BPM
The largest global movement for Black philanthropy.
Black Philanthropy Month isn't one event or one organization — it's a shared banner that organizations, people, and institutions give and celebrate under, together, every August.
One month. Endless impact.
ABOUT THE THEME
Many Voices. One Movement.
The strength of a movement lives in the voices that carry it forward. In a movement built on many voices, philanthropy takes many forms — grounded in collective care and community-driven investment.
Black Philanthropy Month is an opportunity to...
Recognize
Honor the history and impact of Black generosity.
Celebrate
Lift up the people and organizations creating lasting change.
Mobilize
Move resources toward Black communities and the changemakers who serve them.
Act
Give, volunteer, advocate, and partner to help build a more equitable future.
