Building Black Generational Wealth, Health, and Well-being

As a society, we are called on to change to disrupt the imbalance of power and create a liberated future with shared prosperity for Black people.

The Black Future Co-op Fund is a new paradigm for philanthropy uplifting Black-led solutions that ignite Black generational wealth, health, and well-being.

To increase accessibility, the report has been turned into an audiobook. Hear the voices of local Black artists and community members naming the community-identified solutions that move us toward well-being. Listen while you’re driving, walking, or cleaning. Listen with friends and family. Listen for what inspires you to take action.

By and For Black Washingtonians

The Black Future Co-op Fund is a cooperative philanthropy rooted in the beauty, soulfulness, and strength of Blackness. Our vision is a Washington state, working cooperatively, where all Black people are liberated, prosperous, and self-determined to fully live our lives.

Our 2023-2025 Strategic Framework

Building on what we’ve learned, we developed a three-year strategic plan organized around four primary areas of impact: connected Black communities for collective power, promoted truthful Black narratives, invested in Black generational prosperity, and shifted the philanthropic paradigm.

We’re Listening

Black Washingtonians are the soul of the Fund. In the months ahead, we are hosting a series of listening sessions across the state to hear directly from community. By centering Black voices, perspectives, and experiences, we recognize and uplift the true narrative of Black people across Washington. What we learn will both shape our own approaches and be shared with our colleagues to inform the sector.
