General Purposes

About this grant

This grant provides general purposes support to the National Black United Fund, Inc., which promotes charitable giving and volunteerism by African Americans. The organization serves as a national coordinating and planning body for local affiliates that raise money primarily through employee payroll deduction and then distributes the funds to community-based nonprofits serving the African-American community. Over the next two years, the organization will focus on improving its capacity to create communication tools that reach out to a greater number of potential community leaders, encourage greater civic engagement by citizens, and emphasize greater support for family and community development.
