Black Philanthropy Month
A Celebration of Black Philanthropy in the Midlands
What is Black Philanthropy Month?
Black Philanthropy Month is a month-long celebration of philanthropy in the Midlands, specifically lifting up our region's philanthropists and organizations that benefit black communities.
Observed every August, Central Carolina Community Foundation, along with our African American Philanthropy Committee, recognizes and uplifts the voices of our region’s nonprofits and donors. Through stories and action-focused communication, we share how philanthropists impact our community through their time, talent, and treasure, and how organizations are benefiting Black communities across the Midlands.
We proudly support Black Philanthropy Month and encourage community members to contribute to one or more nonprofits through the Midlands Gives platform. Donors can use the Midlands Gives year-round platform to support local nonprofits, including 200 that benefit Black communities.
Join us in celebrating Black Philanthropy!
Nonprofits can participate by visiting our Nonprofit Page to review eligibility and submit their information.
Donors can support local causes by exploring our Find Your Cause page and making a gift that helps strengthen our community.
No matter how you participate, there's a place for everyone during Black Philanthropy Month. Join us in celebrating black-led, black-benefiting organizations making a difference in the Midlands!
