For Martin Luther King Day 2024, we are proud to announce our theme for this year: “Afro-Futures of Giving!” From its roots, Black Philanthropy Month (BPM) has been a beacon of empowerment and community finance traditions, shaping a brighter future for Black communities worldwide. For 2024, BPM is activating contemporary Afro-futurism to help our Movement throughout the US and worldwide imagine and co-create a more powerful future for Black giving and community finance in general. We are asking all community and sector leaders, as well as our allies, to use Dr. Martin Luther King’s Day, to start answering three Afro-future prompts for the year-round BPM season. Don’t wait for August. Respond to this nee theme today with your vision of an ideal future for Black giving and/or social finance. Answer these questions. 1. What factors are driving the future of Black giving and social finance to promote wellness, equity, and justice in Black families, institutions, and communities? 2. What are three concrete actions that you will take as a change agent in your family, community, workplace, and/or other affiliations during 2024 to increase the chances that your vision of a Black Giving Future comes to fruition over the next five years? BPM and partners will be by your side, providing tools over the next 8 months to map, celebrate, and share your Black Giving Future. 🛠️🎉 Complete our Black Giving Futures Survey at https://lnkd.in/eT5sBQ2N. For more information about our 2024 theme, Afro-Futures of Giving, visit our website at blackphilanthropymonth.com. Together, let's tap into our collective power of hope, self-love, and mutual support to change the course of history—again. 🌟❤️ #BPM2024 #BlackPhilanthropyMonth #BlackPhilanthropy #AfroFuture #AfroFuturesofGiving #BlackFunding #MLKDay
