Dear Friend,
Since 1888, we’ve sparked wonder—fueling exploration, discovery, and a global legacy of shared knowledge. Today, our work is more vital than ever as we support Explorers who push boundaries, seek answers, and uncover connections that inspire action to protect our world. |

This month the Society is celebrating the voices of Africa and the African diaspora. Through storytelling grants, educational resources, and its global platform, the National Geographic Society is collaborating with communities around the globe to amplify authentic stories from African and global African diaspora communities and share them widely with diverse audiences.
Support our 2025 Annual Fund to fund groundbreaking projects, programs, and Explorers like:
● The Return Expedition: National Geographic Explorer in Residence Tara Roberts joins divers and marine archeologists searching for transatlantic slave trade shipwrecks. She follows the route of the Transatlantic Slave Trade in reverse—from Europe to the Americas to Africa—with the goal of helping people move toward healing—beyond the pain, horror, anger, guilt, and shame of the slave trade—to a space of remembrance, release, freedom, restoration, and wholeness.
● Reimagining History with Heritage Maps: Researching the Historic Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a community that was devastated by a racially motivated massacre in 1921, National Geographic Explorer Alicia Odewale uses archives, maps, and oral histories to investigate the lingering impact of racial violence and the power of community resilience to bring light to this dark history.
● Africa Refocused: While African people have been sharing stories about Africa’s wildlife and natural heritage for centuries, the dominant storytellers in global conversations about Africa’s environment have historically been people who are not native to the continent. In collaboration with the National Geographic Society, National Geographic Explorers Noel Kok and Pragna Parsotam-Kok created Nature, Environment and Wildlife Filmmakers (NEWF) to ensure African stories are told by and from the perspectives of the African people, as well as providing professional training, mentorship, and skill-building for local storytellers.
