What We Do
A Liberated Future For Black Washingtonians
Black Washingtonians are essential to shaping our state’s collective future. Through coalition-building and investing in Black communities across the state, we empower Black-led solutions that foster Black wealth, health, and well-being for generations.
Primary Areas of Impact
Connecting Black communities for collective power
We believe connection is a strategy for change. We unite Black communities across Washington to share knowledge and build shared objectives for systems change.
Promoting truthful Black narratives
Our stories are layered, varied, and rooted in a spectrum of Black experience. By uplifting the full truth of Black life in Washington, we honor the mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, aunties and uncles, children and grandparents who are vital members of our society.
Investing in Black generational prosperity
When Black people are heard and walk in our power to shape our communities, workplaces, and governments, society becomes stronger and more just. We fund with trust. We believe that funding should be barrier-free because Black prosperity is not conditional.
Shifting the paradigm of philanthropy
We exist to redesign philanthropy away from the status quo. We model a new way, rooted in Black genius, art, culture, and joy. By centering Blackness in all we do, we show what it means to move away from gatekeeping to reciprocity, and away from restrictions to liberation.
