Summary

The Black Voices Nomination aims to elevate Black leaders advocating for racial justice by providing financial awards of $20,000 or $50,000. This initiative connects established and emerging Black leaders and supports their efforts to combat systemic inequalities exacerbated by police brutality and the pandemic. Awardees receive not only funding but also additional resources and support to strengthen their impact in building an equitable and anti-racist society.

Overview

THE MISSION The Fund was established to amplify clarion voices about racial justice; connect new and established Black leaders to one another; and support Black-led efforts to build meaningful economic and political power for their communities in the context of police brutality and the disproportionate impact of the pandemic along racial lines – including disparities in access to healthcare, jobs, education, justice, and the right to vote. INVESTING IN BLACK LEADERSHIP Through nominations the Fund provides strong, imaginative Black leaders with a financial award to use their voice and solutions for building a fair, equitable, and anti-racist America that better reflects the best of humanity. BVBJ seeks to ensure that leaders who have helped fuel the racial justice movement will have additional resources needed to expand their work. Each awardee is provided with a grant – either $20,000 or $50,000 – to use at this pivotal moment to expand their voice and grow their solutions for building an anti-racist America. BVBJ plans to offer awardees individual support, such as communications and media assistance, and will bring awardees together periodically to build relationships with other leaders, reflect and share progress and lessons learned.
