Pride Month arrives this year in the midst of a storm. This month, we honor three Black LGBTQ visionaries who spent their lives refusing to let democracy shift toward exclusion.

On Flag Day, Give Black Alliance honors Grace Wisher, the young Black girl whose skill and craftsmanship helped create the Star-Spangled Banner.

We know how to build democratic infrastructure. The question is whether we have the political will and the philanthropic intentionality to be a bridge to strong civic infrastructure. Or, do we cower in fear of a few loud donor voices?

This Earth Month, come with us, Give Black Alliance, to learn more about what is happening in our communities. Many of us are simply fighting for the right to exist.

Why do we still need Women’s History Month? Because history has never told the whole truth about the power of us.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day brings together the hopeful, the guilty, the angry, and the fearful in a single moment. It confronts us with the challenge Dr. King named with unsettling clarity: racism, economic injustice, and militarism — the evils that distort democracy and hollow out freedom.

Nostalgia is not neutral.
It is a distortion.

Kwanzaa honors unity, shared purpose, and cooperative economics. These values guide our work every day.

This year, it was our great honor to donate $50,000 to Black-led organizations and direct $23,000 to BOLD partners. Learn more about the missions of our fiscal sponsorees and consider donating to them directly to support their work.

It is National Philanthropy Day, a day to celebrate philanthropy and philanthropists’ impact on our communities. If philanthropy is loving people, then voting is the purest act of love.

This 4th of July, let us start living up to our collective declaration of independence and freedom. Later this month, the National NAACP is convening in Boston.

Yesterday, just ten days after Juneteenth, came the sobering realization that we may be at the beginning of the dismantling of reparations. This is not just about race. Gender, culture, identity and other isms will follow, because they won’t have to see us anymore.

As we approach Juneteenth, a significant day in our nation's history commemorating the end of slavery, we wanted to take a moment to acknowledge its importance and share some relevant legislative updates.
