Collective Action to Address Anti-Black Racism in Grantmaking

In 2020, ABFE issued a challenge to philanthropy to let the passion of the racial uprisings and protests inspire them to generate bold and effective ways to uplift the Black community. Over 60 Black Foundation CEOs designed and signed on to a commitment to leverage their power and position to dismantle structures and false narratives about Black communities. Now known as the Umoja Circle network, leaders will share their stories of building a healthier, more robust, and better resourced Black community, and help attendees strategize and operationalize their work to address anti-Black racism.
