In September of 2016, Colin Kaepernick pledged to donate $1 million to organizations that work in oppressed communities.
Kaepernick has since stood by that promise, donating to 31 different charitable organizations. And on Tuesday, the former 49ers quarterback announced that he has set a date for his final $100,000 donation to complete the $1 million total.
Kaepernick wrote as he shared a video on Instagram:
I’m proud to say that as part of my Million Dollar Pledge, I’ve donated $900,000 to 31 organizations fighting toward social justice. Its been a privilege to be able to do my part in helping organizations like Mother’s Against Police Brutality to provide comfort and support for families when law enforcement kills a community member, Helping Oppressed Mothers Endure to provide furniture to single mothers and Meals on Wheels who feed those less fortunate – just to highlight a few. Hearing about how each organization utilized the donations reaffirms that people doing good work need more support.
As we welcome 2018, we also see that our work is not done.
Tomorrow, I’ll be announcing the final $100,000 to complete my Million Dollar Pledge. I’m excited to share this last round of donations with all of you. You can see all 31 donations I’ve made so far and what they used the money for on http://www.kaepernick7.com #MillionDollarPledge #10for10
In September, Kaepernick hit the $900,000 mark with donations to DREAM, Coalition For The Homeless, War on Children and United We Dream.
He will reveal the organizations receiving the final $100,000 on Wednesday.
