To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre, the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission is building the Greenwood Rising history center, a state-of-the-art institution that creates an immersive educational experience to educate visitors about this historic event and honor the legacy of Black Wall Street. To support the cause, the Centennial Commission received contributions from Paycom as part of an ongoing giving campaign in which employees have the opportunity to donate to a variety of local and national causes.

Hill Harper’s philanthropic work with the Centennial Commission and position in the media give him unique insight into nonprofit fundraising and the economic realities of the minority communities he serves.

In this episode of HR Break Room®, Hill, Griffin and host Caleb Masters discuss:

• using technology to foster a philanthropic culture
• how corporate giving can boost employee morale and strengthen the employer brand
• funding challenges faced by smaller philanthropic organizations
• how technology can help reduce barriers of entry that keep people from retaining and creating wealth
