Huge thanks to Valparaiso University's Black Student Organization for hosting a giving circle as part of Black History Month. Three nonprofits were featured – all very worthy of support – and we were thrilled to be selected to receive $3000 with a $3000 matching gift, 100% of which will go to the Freedom Recovery Fund, a fund dedicated to building black wealth in our community. Want to learn more about the FRF? Head to: https://projectneighbors.org/frf/
Again, THANK YOU to the Office of Multicultural Programs at Valparaiso University's Black Student Organization for making this possible.
