The significance of Black History Month lies not only in the dynamism of Black legends and their contributions, but also in the power of Black stories to shape our collective narrative, guide philanthropic work in the present, and help create a more just and equitable future. “If a race has no history, if it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world, and it stands in danger of being exterminated,” Dr. Carter G. Woodson, “the father of Black history,” notably reminds us. Today, we celebrate Dr. Woodson, a University of Chicago alumnus and historian, and the second African American to earn a Ph.D. from Harvard University.? Among his many contributions, Dr. Woodson: - Founded the Association of the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH), which was headquartered in his own home - Ran a publishing house (Associated Publishers) focused on African American culture and history, when other publishers avoided these topics - Initiated the first Negro History Week in 1926, which would later become Black History Month His Washington home brought together “generations of intellectuals, writers, and activists,” including Langston Hughes, John Hope Franklin, and many others. Now owned by the National Park Service, it is currently being restored and is expected to open to visitors later this year. Learn more about Dr. Woodson’s remarkable life and legacy. #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackStories https://lnkd.in/g77Y54UU??

Pipeline development is critical to fundraising success, especially in today’s giving climate.

As you engage your major and principal gift prospects and annual givers, make sure you also know how to solicit, steward, upgrade, and retain donors in the middle. ?#donormanagement #donorengagement
