828  – Giving Black Day

📅 August 28 – Giving Black Day 🖤💚❤️
A day with deep historical significance — and a call to action for our present and future.

📖 Origin & Why It Matters:
Black Giving Day, launched by Young Black and Giving Back (YBGB), was created to inspire collective giving and uplift Black-led, Black-serving, and Black-focused (B3) organizations.

The date August 28 holds powerful meaning in Black history:
🔹 1955 – 14-year-old Emmett Till’s murder became a flashpoint for the Civil Rights Movement.
🔹 1963 – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech.
🔹 2005 – Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, disproportionately impacting Black communities.
🔹 2008 – Barack Obama accepted the Democratic nomination for President.
🔹 1945 – Jackie Robinson learned he would break Major League Baseball’s color barrier.
🔹 2020 – We said goodbye to Chadwick Boseman, a global symbol of Black excellence.

💡 Why It Matters for the Black Community:
Black Giving Day is more than a date — it’s a double call: to remember our history and to build our future. By giving collectively, we can strengthen vital organizations serving our communities, fuel generational impact, and ensure that our stories, struggles, and successes continue to inspire.

🌍 Whether you give $5 or $500, volunteer your time, or amplify the work of Black-led nonprofits — YOU can be a philanthropist for a day. And that one day can change lives for generations.
