Celebrating Juneteenth
How to Get Started
Presently stands with the Black community in the ongoing fight against racial injustice. At Presently, we will continue to use our platform to promote diversity and inclusion and to support Black entrepreneurs. In celebration of Juneteenth, the commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States, any group gift that supports a Black-owned business from our retailer list will have all fees waived by Presently – from June 19, 2021 through December 2021*.
While Juneteenth was finally recognized as a federal holiday on June 18, 2021, there is so much more work to be done. Before organizing your next group gift, learn more about allied organizations and other resources down below:
