Read the report from the 2023 Symposium on Philanthropy and the Black Church. This special event, co-hosted by the Center for the Church and the Black Experience at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary and Lake Institute on Faith & Giving, brought together 70 key leaders in philanthropy and faith to start a conversation about the “necessary collaborative” between philanthropy and Black religious institutions.

This report, authored by Robert M. Franklin and published by the Southern Education Foundation in 2005, offers a retrospective on the Philanthropy and the Black Church Project of the late twentieth century.
