Black History Month
In February, we celebrate Black History Month by supporting nonprofits that are dedicated to advocating for Black communities. Established by African American historian Carter G. Woodson in 1915, Black History Month evolved to celebrate the lasting contributions of Black individuals throughout history, serving as an annual reminder of their profound impact on society. Below, you'll find Deed’s nonprofit recommendations, as well as Actions and volunteer opportunities, providing the Deed community with opportunities to support impactful organizations in celebration of Black History Month. We recommend using this resource to set up employee engagement campaigns in February.
