The Black Emory Impact Circle advances the causes of Black communities through the power of collective philanthropic giving. Think: funding global education experiences for underrepresented groups, making education more accessible, or creating space for Black women to be mentored. Funding these much-needed initiatives relies on the generosity of donors at every level.

The Black Emory Impact Circle is seeking additional leadership donors. Contact Ricardo Horne at ricardo.horne@emory.edu to learn about making a gift of $25,000 or more.

"Emory gave me the opportunity to grow and develop as a person, as a leader, as a scholar, and as someone who was outspoken and a student advocate. That’s where I learned how to do the grassroots work in diversity, equity, and inclusion that I continue to do today."

— Jonathan Butler 96C, Black Emory Impact Circle leader
