The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation is donating $470,000 "to seven organizations that are focused on creating systemic change and ending the disenfranchisement" of black, indigenous and other people of color.
In March, the foundation pledged almost $5.4 million in aid for organizations in Georgia and Montana to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
Along with the upheaval caused by the pandemic, the killings of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd have led many Americans to demonstrate and protest for meaningful actions to address systemic racism and police brutality.
Blank issued a statement on the matter in May:
"A number of events over the last couple of weeks have reminded us again that the long, worthy quest for equal justice, civility and unity in America is far from over.
