035 | Celebrating Black Philanthropy Month

August is Black Philanthropy Month. It's a time that celebrates the legacy and traditions of giving throughout the African diaspora.

One group that has uplifted Black philanthropy is HERitage Giving Fund. Based in Dallas, HERitage has awarded over $100,000 to Black women-led nonprofit organizations that serve Black women and girls throughout North Texas.

Akilah Wallace founded HERitage with Halima and Froswa' Booker-Drew. She joined "For Our Edification" to talk about how HERitage honors Black philanthropy through its efforts and programming. She also gives helpful suggestions for "everyday" Black folks to practice philanthropy.
