On June 19, 1865 -- a full two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued -- news of the end of slavery finally reached Texas. Since then, Juneteenth, also known as Jubilee Day, Liberation Day, and Emancipation Day, has become a time to recognize and celebrate the culture, contributions, and achievements of African Americans. Early celebrations often served a dual purpose as political rallies to give voting instructions to newly freed enslaved peoples. However, in the early 20th century, economic and political forces led to a decline in Juneteenth celebrations due to state laws and amendments being passed that disenfranchised Black people and excluded them from voting, such as the Jim Crow laws. The Civil Rights Movement re-invigorated the holiday. In 2020, in the midst of several high-profile deaths of Black men at the hands of police, Juneteenth started to become more widely known and its significance particularly important. Systemic racism continues to plague the United States, and the struggle for true Black liberation continues to this day. Join us in supporting organizations that continue to work on dismantling white supremacy and eliminating systemic racism. The Juneteenth Fund is composed of nonprofits with missions that address these complex, pervasive relics of oppression through education, policy, advocacy, and access to quality healthcare and other direct services. The composition of nonprofits in this fund is subject to change.

Poaching has become a significant issue in recent years and is threatening the existence of many species, including the rhinoceros. The world has lost over 60 % of its rhino population to poaching in the last seven years. The rhino horn is in high demand in many countries and is believed to have medicinal properties. This demand has led to a considerable increase in rhinos being killed illegally. This fund is dedicated to fighting poaching and saving the rhino from extinction. Your donation supports anti-poaching efforts and conservation programs for rhinos. The program includes habitat protection, public awareness campaigns, and deploying highly trained anti-poaching units.
