Black Love In Action: Black Philanthropy Month Celebration 2023
Thursday, August 17, 5P-8P
Community Foundation

The Community Foundation, in partnership with the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia, invites you to the 5th Annual Black Philanthropy Month Celebration. Join us for an evening to celebrate the transformative power of Black generosity in our region.

Together we will honor several Black philanthropic leaders in the region, be inspired by black philanthropists, and hear about the impact of collective giving. In an engaging fireside chat, all who attend will learn more about the impact of HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) and the effects of their philanthropic presence.

Event Highlights:
- Fireside Chat with the Region's Top HBCU Leaders
- Fireside Chat with Dr. Makola Abdullah, President of Virginia State University & Devon Henry, Board Rector at Norfolk State University, will engage in a riveting conversation about how HBCUs are engines for Black economic mobility and the actions philanthropy can take to accelerate their impact among the students they serve and the communities in which they operate.

Recognitions:
- The L. Robert Bolling Legacy Award
- The Veronica Fleming Ingenuity Award
