CA State Budget Request: #FundBlackFreedom

CBFF is requesting up to $100 million from the state’s general fund to ensure the resiliency of Black serving organizations in the state. This funding will:

1. Resource, bolster and strengthen Black serving networks and grassroots organizations throughout California through regrants.
2. Build the organizational infrastructure for an independent Black operating foundation serving the Black community.
3. Provide seed funding for an endowment to the Black Freedom Fund.

Share your support and urge Governor Newsom to secure our $100 million goal in state funding to support organizations that are closest to the issues as well as the solutions. This is the kind of investment California can afford to make and one that our communities deserve.

In this moment of reckoning for racial justice, we have a shared opportunity and responsibility to marshal our resources in order to tackle systemic racism in communities across California. These unprecedented times call for all of us—including philanthropy—to respond in new ways.

Through the California Black Freedom Fund, private, corporate and community foundations and individual donors have the opportunity to prioritize investments in Black power-building organizations as a strategic imperative and turn this moment into a sustained movement. Join us in building the capacity and power of Black organizers and advocates to make justice real in California.
