It’s ABFE. ✊🏾 Our story began in 1971 when a small group of Black foundation executives refused to accept the absence of Black voices in philanthropy. They took action then, and for 53 years, ABFE has been the soul of philanthropy, and we’re still here, fighting for Black communities and pushing for systemic change. This anniversary, we’re asking for your support. Donate $53 to honor our 53 years of progress and help us continue shaping the future of philanthropy. Join us. Together, we can build a more equitable tomorrow. Donate now: https://lnkd.in/e--envqu
