Wow! What an amazing event to kick off Black Philanthropy Month (BPM)! Last week our Development Manager, Katelynn Bruno, attended a BPM event hosted by New Generation of African American Philanthropists (NGAAP). She heard from speaker Michelle Muri about the importance of Community-Centric Fundraising, a fundraising model with principles grounded in race, equity and social justice. It works to: - Prioritize the entire community over individual organizations - Foster a sense of belonging and interdependence - Present our work not as individual transactions but holistically - Encourage mutual support between nonprofits ngaap_charlotte #BPM2023CLT #philanthropy #blackphilanthropymonth #nonprofits
