About Us

What is MLK365?

MLK365 is a non-profit organization/movement that advances the vision of Martin Luther King Jr. through value-based advertising campaigns, civic, work and educational challenge grants and regional events and student programs to promote civic engagement, character development and social action. For the last 30 years, MLK365 hosts the MARCH FOR THE DREAM, an event that attracts 20,000 plus marchers to the Capitol of California.

Our Mission

MLK365 is a Martin Luther King Jr. inspired, value-centered non-profit organization committed to advancing the principles of social change as a strategy for building strong and healthy communities 365 days a year.

Our History

In 1983, the Sacramento Human Rights & Fair Housing Commission brought together several disconnected Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) activities to form the MLK Celebration Day Committee. The committee produced a city-wide celebration that consisted of: a job fair, financial, health, ecumenical service, multi-cultural talent showcase, children's educational activities and a gospel celebration.

In 1988, the Martin Luther King Jr. Expo & Fair (MLK Job Fair), with the expressed permission of the King family to use Dr. King's name, incorporated as its own non-profit organization. Over the years, the MLK collaborative has achieved many milestones, none more important than awarding through grants more than $150,000 in educational and work related scholarships.

In 2005, we changed our name, expanded our mission and officially incorporated as "MLK365" because one day wasn't enough.
