Dear [SUPPORTER]

On August 28, 2025, [INSERT ORGANIZATION NAME] will be joining Give 8/28, a national day of giving focused specifically on supporting Black-led and Black-benefitting organizations. Give 8/28 isn't like other fundraising campaigns.

Give 8/28 takes place during Black Philanthropy Month and commemorates multiple critical historical landmarks in Black Americans march toward freedom. Here are just a few:

• August 28, 1945: Major League Baseball President Branch Rickey met with Jackie Robinson to tell him he would be integrating the Majors.
• August 28, 2005: Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Louisiana. The storm, which devastated New Orleans, inordinately impacted many of the city's Black residents.
• August 28, 2020: Our beloved Chadwick Boseman, aka T'Challa, died. 
• And... on August 28, 2025: YOU joined #Give828 in support of Black self-empowerment through philanthropy! 

Learn about all of the historical August 28 moments here.

In 2025, we're at a critical juncture. The disproportionate impacts of economic disparities and social injustice on Black communities  underscore the vital need for resources to support Black-led nonprofits.
