💜 Black philanthropy is also about who receives investment.

Black Philanthropy Month elevates Black giving while calling attention to funding equity and the importance of resourcing organizations that serve Black communities.

Organizations like Envision Lead Grow are doing the daily work of preparing girls to become leaders, entrepreneurs and changemakers.

For 10 years, we have helped more than 5,000 girls see greater possibilities for their lives. But impact requires investment.

When you support Envision Lead Grow, you help ensure that limited resources do not determine which girl receives an opportunity.

Do not simply celebrate Black philanthropy. Practice it by donating, mentoring, volunteering and sharing. Learn more by visiting www.envisionleadgrow.org.

You don't have to be wealthy to be a philanthropist. 💚

Philanthropy begins when ordinary people decide that someone else’s future matters.

💗 A small gift can help provide supplies.
💚 A monthly gift can help sustain mentorship.
💜 A larger investment can help send a girl to camp.
💗 A shared post can introduce our mission to a future donor or mentor.

At Envision Lead Grow, every act of generosity helps create access for girls who are ready to lead, grow and dream bigger.

Never underestimate what your consistent support can make possible. Invest in a girl. Strengthen a family. Transform a community. Build a legacy. Donate today at www.envisionleadgrow.org.

Some people network. Others connect.

There’s a difference. Networking builds a contact list. Connecting builds a community, one relationship at a time.

That’s exactly why Kimberly Wimbish, M.P.S. is this year’s Mustard Seed Award winner. The Mustard Seed Entrepreneur Award recognizes an individual or organization that has made significant contributions to entrepreneurship through direct support of small business owners, innovative solutions, ecosystem building, thought leadership, and measurable impact on entrepreneurial success.

Known as “The People’s Connector,” Kimberly has spent more than 20 years turning relationships into results. As Founder and CEO of KMK Productions, she’s brought together Fortune 500 companies, HBCUs, faith institutions, government leaders and more. She’s also passionate about paying it forward, regularly mentoring aspiring entrepreneurs along the way.

As Director of Constituent Affairs for Virginia House Speaker Don Scott, she makes sure everyday voices reach the halls of power. With a Bachelor’s from Norfolk State University, a Master’s from The George Washington University School of Business, and dedicated membership in Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., she has always valued education and service. Her honors like the NAACP Social Action Award and Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity's Hugo A. Owens Humanitarian Award show why “impact” isn’t just a word in Kimberly’s bio. It’s her life.
