HAND IN HAND ?????????? Brought to you by Cllctivly x The Elbow Fund Last week we shared the pleasure of breaking bread with this year’s Hand in Hand prize winners. The Hand in Hand prize awarded $20,000 to each of the ten organizations who participated in #cllctivgive24. The winners were also provided an additional $10,000 in add-on prizes for you to distribute to up to (5) CLLCTIVGIVE organizations who share in the values of connection, collaboration, love, and liberation (Round of Applause recipients). It’s important for us to provide financial resources for elevation AND create space for our organizations to meet, further connect and simply be in community with one another. Our lunch time was just that and some necessary nourishment! Congratulations again to our winners: Baltimore Rites of Passage Initiative @blkassfleamkt @bmoreempowered @crayonsandculture @lovegroovefest @muse.360 @dreamflydreams @ourtimekitchen @sankofachildrensmuseum @sheswellnetworked We are so grateful for and grounded in the work you and your organizations pour into our community. Thank you for continuing to work #handinhand to help build Black futures!

Last week I had the incredible honor of being part of a delegation to South Africa, led by Rev. Dawn Sanders, founder of Leader to Leader Abroad, in partnership with Dr. Nomdoe of Hope Revolution and Dr. Bruce Damon and Prof. Veonna Goliath of Nelson Mandela University. It was a true blessing to invest in the next generation of student social impact leaders. Through CLLCTIVLY, we awarded six students with $500 microgrants to support their innovative projects and commitment to creating positive change. Congratulations to: Nicole Nirvana, Naturally Nirvana Keenan Damons, Art for Hope Herschelle Howley, Boxing Lehlohonolo Molahlehi, Clap and Tap Choir Winston Letwaba, Advance Academy Eric Mamane, Comnet Hydroponics From Baltimore to South Africa, let us rise up and build! #WeGiveThanks #WeGiveBlack
