Turn Followers Into Funders: A Social Media Workshop to Power Your Give 8/28 Campaign

Your story deserves to be seen, and your cause deserves to be funded.

This year, we’re bringing in Cori McCleskey of Remember Media, a Memphis social media agency that’s worked with 350+ local brands and nonprofits. Cori built Remember Media from the ground up and knows exactly what a small, mission-driven team can accomplish with the right tools, which is why this workshop is designed for Black-led nonprofits working with limited time and staff.

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.
