The University Maryland’s Do Good Institute and the Association of Fundraising Professionals (DC Chapter) will host Envisioning the Future of Black Philanthropy through Afro-Futurism on Thursday, August 8 at 12PM.

In alignment with the 2024 Black Philanthropy Month (BPM) vision, we are activating a contemporary look at Afro-futurism to envision a more impactful and powerful future for Black Philanthropy. Join us as we explore the tomorrow of Black philanthropic practices, its history, identities, and how we can prepare today for a bold expression of love of humankind.

  • Learn about the 2024 BPM vision and its focus on contemporary Afro-futurism
  • Use Afro-futurism to imagine innovative and transformative possibilities for Black giving
  • Identify practical steps we can take today to advance and prepare for the future of Black philanthropy
  • Discuss how others in the philanthropic sector and the broader community can align with a more powerful future for Black giving
