Our mission is to transform the African American community in Los Angeles and harness our collective giving power to support organizations working on the front lines of social justice. We awards grants to organizations that work to empower the African American community in the areas of education, economic, and leadership development. Our principles include: TRUTH - efforts that are grounded in the liberation of Black people, acknowledging the need to equitably shift the power relationship between black and white populations; STRENGTH - efforts that support the capacity of Black people to mobilize our individual, collective and community assets toward systemic change; STRATEGIC DISRUPTION - efforts that boldly confront conditions that perpetuate inequity, from narratives that justify racial difference, indignity and oppression to policies that reinforce the same; and LOVE - efforts that facilitate avenues by which Black people can pursue self-and-community care to heal from trauma.
