August 27, 2025 – Propeller is participating in the eighth annual Give 8/28, a national day of giving dedicated to uplifting and supporting Black-led and Black-benefiting nonprofits. The campaign falls on August 28, a date that marks several milestones in Black history, including the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, Barack Obama’s presidential nomination acceptance, and the landfall of Hurricane Katrina.
Organizers said the day is both about remembrance and action. “As we remember how the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina turned into a disaster when the levees failed, we remain unshakably determined to build an entrepreneurial ecosystem that serves everyone in our community,” Propeller leaders said in announcing their participation.
