As protests against police brutality continue to take place across the country, the Kraft family has pledged $1 million in an effort to help fight against systemic racism.
The amount will be distributed over the next 10 months in the form of $100,000 monthly donations to local grassroots organizations that are “fighting for equity, working to end systemic racism, and creating meaningful change in our community.” The organizations will be chosen in collaborations with Patriots players, according to a statement released via the organization.
“Change always begins with listening and learning,” the statement read. “These organizations will be invited to speak to our executive staff and senior management across the Kraft Group business so we can learn about their work and continue to grow in knowledge and awareness, especially among those in leadership positions.
