Mobilizing the World Through Giving


This #GivingTuesdayNOW support our education work to advance culturally relevant curriculum and culturally responsive schools. We are now in our fourth year of promoting culturally relevant curriculum in schools.
o   In 2015 we presented a 12-point plan to push our school district forward to our local school board members.
o   In 2016 we got the school district to implement the district wide mandatory reading of Booker T. Washington’s classic book, Up from Slavery.    
o   We currently host a Home Room class to assist parents that have students home due to COVID-19.
This #GivingTuesdayNOW support our education work to advance culturally relevant curriculum and culturally responsive schools.
We believe that generosity has the power to unite and heal communities in good times and bad. A global threat like COVID-19 touches every person on the planet, and it presents an opportunity to come together as a global community. #GivingTuesdayNow is a new global day of giving and unity that will take place TODAY-May 5, 2020 – in addition to the regularly scheduled Dec 1, 2020 #GivingTuesday – as an emergency response to the unprecedented need caused by COVID-19. Let’s come together to create a wave of generosity, citizen engagement, action from business and philanthropy, and support for communities and nonprofits around the world.
