Giving Tuesday, beginning December 2, 2025, marks a profound moment for us to stand together and uplift the Pan African community we have proudly served for more than 55 years.

For over half a century, our organization has been a pillar of support, empowerment, and opportunity—championing education, wellness, cultural advancement, and equitable access for families across generations. This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to be part of something bigger: a legacy of resilience and progress that continues because of supporters like you. Your contribution—no matter the size—helps us expand essential programs, amplify community voices, and ensure that our mission thrives for decades to come. Join us in strengthening our future. Support the work. Support the community. Support the next 55 years and beyond.
