The Summit Support Program

The International Black Summit Support Program provides the opportunity for participants and supporters of the International Black Summit to provide ongoing financial support to the conversations and programs of the Summit.  Participation in the IBS Support Program will provide funds to support the work of the International Black Summit, and a consistent flow of funds for the operation of the International Black Summit.  This consistent flow of funds allows for more effective budgeting and management of the Summit programs.  The IBS Support Program is also intended to encourage participants of the Summit to take a more active role in the IBS throughout the year.

Program Description

Individuals and companies can make a one-time contribution or an annual pledge with contributions throughout the year to support the operations of the International Black Summit.  This program can be used to support participants who choose to tithe with the International Black Summit.
