While COVID-19 is novel as a virus, the pestilence of anti-Black racism that dictates its disproportionate impact on Black communities is centuries old. If 2020 has taught us something, it is that anything can happen and fast. Investments that build on collective responsibility, self-help and cultural pride along with those that address systemic exclusion of Black people and communities of color from opportunity and advantage, are truly wise investments.

ABFE: A Philanthropic Partnership for Black Communities is a network of professionals who are concerned with the health and wellbeing of Black people in communities across our country. ABFE is dedicated to using philanthropy – in all its forms of time, talent, and treasure – as a vehicle for systemic change.

We leverage our network and all resources at our disposal to shed light on the root causes of the disparities that continue to besiege Black communities and to lift up the many assets and leaders striving for better outcomes for children and families now and in the future. After 50 years, ABFE has a proven track record of staying the course for the long-haul.

We still have work to do! Join ABFE in the fight! Donate today! #GivingTuesday
