Bright + Early launches charitable fund to support diverse, inclusive workplaces
Bright + Early has launched a new fund that will contribute to charities supporting underrepresented individuals in the Canadian tech workforce.
The Better Workplaces Fund, as it is called, will specifically focus on supporting women, people of colour, especially Black and Indigenous people, LGBTQ+ individuals, immigrants, and refugees in the workforce. The fund will focus specifically on tech workers, where possible.
Bright + Early is committing a percentage of its sales to the new initiative, funded by its human resources (HR) and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) consulting work. The company has a goal of raising $20,000 this year.

In 1926, Carter G. Woodson, a Harvard-trained historian, and Jesse E. Moorland, a minister, founders of what is now known as the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH), celebrated the first Negro History week.

Black History Month, celebrated every February in the U.S., is an opportunity to highlight the vast accomplishments and achievements of Black Americans. Amid the celebrations and history lessons is the underlying reminder that Black History is American History.
