Mission & Focus Areas
The foundation's vision is a world where Black people and people of the global majority live powerfully, abundantly and beautifully in healthy, self-determined communities free of social, economic and ideological violence.
The foundation operates across five primary focus areas:
Community Power: Providing financial and other resources to build and sustain people's power to demand and achieve justice.
Culture: Shifting narratives about anti-Black racism and its impacts on society, creating new narratives that center the voices of people living at the intersection of systems of oppression including race, class, and gender identity.
Healing Justice: Creating spaces and practices that prioritize rest, rejuvenation, resilience, and healing from systemic and interpersonal harms.
Institutions & Structures: Disrupting institutions and structures that perpetuate anti-Black racism and other intersectional discriminatory harms.
Reparations & Economic Justice: Supporting economic justice movements, including reparations movements for Black communities.
The foundation is a signatory to Philanthropy's Promise, an initiative of the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy (NCRP), committing to allocate the majority of its grantmaking dollars to marginalized communities and at least 25 percent to social justice strategies such as advocacy, community organizing, and civic engagement.
