Initiated over 20 years ago, Black Philanthropy Month (BPM) is the preeminent global movement to empower giving and social finance in Black and Black Diaspora communities everywhere.  With diverse Black and allied leadership, almost 20 million people across 60 countries have engaged in BPM from inception.  The United Nations and almost 50 governmental bodies have proclaimed every August as Black Philanthropy Month. A year-round initiative BPM has developed a Global Black Funding Equity Pledge signed and enacted by a growing base of community-based and institutional funders and investors.  See our 10-year anniversary and 2022 Impact Reports for more information on how BPM is making a difference promoting more powerful and equitable Black social finance from philanthropy to venture and impact investing.

BPM's impact is made possible by sponsors.  For 2024 our theme, Afro-Futures of Giving, 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.
