Celebrating Black Philanthropy Month with Shelley Stewart III

August 9, 2022
Brooklyn Community Foundation is thrilled to celebrate Black Philanthropy Month, this year with the theme of “Fierce Urgency of Now: From Dream to Action”! Throughout August we're highlighting leaders within our own organization—and we encourage you to follow the hashtag #bpm2022 on social media and pledge your support for Black-led nonprofits across Brooklyn!
 
Our Board Member Shelley Stewart III, Senior Partner at McKinsey & Company, shared with us his thoughts on the meaning of philanthropy and its potential to support our communities:
 

"Philanthropy is society’s realization that the ‘market’ is an insufficient mechanism for allocating capital to places & people that need it most. Philanthropy is a necessary enabler if we are to collectively unlock all human potential.”
