Millions Give Back: A Black Women's Philanthropy Campaign
The Millions Give Back (MGB) Campaign will inspire a groundbreaking collaborative movement to identify, engage and record Black philanthropic giving. It will create an infrastructure and strong distribution conduit for high-level, high-impact giving to influence positive social change. Ultimately, the campaign will provide Black women across the globe with a way to become more effectively engaged in the critical issues affecting Black women and the Black community.
Born from the early convenings and discussions from The Black Women Donor Action Group (BWDAG), a bold initiative focused on Black women donors, the MGB Campaign will expose the positive value and impact of Black giving, redefine engagement with other donor communities, and ensure Black women in philanthropy claim their space in the field.
