Black Women Give Back 2022

Join the Women’s Philanthropy Institute as we celebrate this year’s Black Women Give Back honorees at Reunity, the culminating event for Black Philanthropy Month, on August 31 at the Madam C. J. Walker Legacy Center in Indianapolis. 

Reunity will take place from 11 AM – 5 PM. Reunity is a global network of Black women funders and leaders from 60 countries. The goal of Reunity is to build diverse Black women’s networks and spirits as we lead the movements to create a better life for Black communities and the entire world. Organized as a series of keynotes, with a wellness institute, Reunity operates as an interactive master wellness, leadership, peer support and coaching session to inspire and energize global Black and allied sisterhood. 

The Black Women Give Back Reception and Awards program is from 5 PM – 7 PM. Choose in-person option when registering. The event is free.

Created in partnership with Black Philanthropy Month and The Women Invested to Save the Earth (WISE) Fund, we’re spotlighting 10 outstanding Black women philanthropists from diverse backgrounds who use their time, talent, treasure, testimony and ties to make the world a better place.
