In our riveting finale of the 'Giving Legacies' series, we are honored to feature Heaven Hamilton, Chair of the Year Up National Alumni Association. During our discussion, we explored the empowering impact of giving back and examined the diverse ways that the alumni community, led by Heaven, is making a difference for Year Up and its local communities.

Heaven shares personal experiences that underscore the profound impact of philanthropy and mentorship, shedding light on the rich history of giving within the alumni community. As we follow her story, we learn how the legacy of Black philanthropists, both in the past and present, has inspired her to drive change in her community.

Discover the vital role of the Year Up alumni community in the future of Year Up and its initiatives, and gain insights into the various dimensions of giving, regardless of one's financial situation. Heaven eloquently illustrates how alumni giving contributes to Year Up's broader mission, embodying a culture where Black philanthropy is more than a moment; it's a way of life.
