Giving Tuesday: Recycling The Black Dollar

#GivingTuesday #RecyclingTheBlackDollarWithinOurCommunities #ForUsByUs #BlackHistoryandHeritageMatters

Back in the day, many black churches and other organizations developed creative ways to raise money to support themselves such as #OysterSuppers, #PigRoasts, #BabyRallies, #CandleRallies and excursions to places like #CarrsBeach and #ConeyIsland.

The African American fundraising tickets and envelopes span from 1914 to 1963. There's nothing new under the sun- this is old fashioned fundraising. #PushingandPreservingTheEnvelopes

Nanny Jack & Co Archives has an exceptional collection of this type of ephemera.
