About Give 8/28

Give 8/28 is a national initiative promoting financial giving to Black-led-and-benefiting nonprofits, and we are proud to have introduced the concept to Greater Memphis.

The initiative, led by the Young, Black, and Giving Back Institute in Washington, D.C., was founded in 2018. Since its inception, it has grown significantly and leverages online fundraising and crowdfunding tools to drive donations.
