Join Surge as we step into Black Philanthropy Month (BPM) alongside organizations led by people of color who understand that our liberation is interconnected. This global celebration of African-descent giving and funding equity culminates in Give 8/28, an international day of giving that amplifies our collective power. But this isn’t just about donations—it’s about honoring a legacy of community care that has sustained our people for generations.
Amber White, Surge Oakland ’22 alumna and Associate Director at Beyond 12, shares her commitment to ensuring future black and brown leaders have the same transformative experience she did. Read her story now.
Black philanthropy isn’t new. We’ve always taken care of our own.
From mutual aid societies to freedom schools, from church offerings to community fundraisers, Black and Brown communities have always understood that our collective power creates the change we need to see. When you invest in Surge, you’re not just supporting a program—you’re joining a movement rooted in this beautiful tradition of lifting as we climb.
Throughout August, we’ll celebrate the transformative power of community investment and show how your support directly amplifies the leadership of Black and Latinx education changemakers across the country.
