Black Empowerment Works promotes Black self-determination, social mobility and economic prosperity by resourcing and funding grassroots/community-based, Black-led work. Annually we open the application process to select new grantees. To date, we have invested $1.6 million in 58 ideas and leaders.
As a core tenet of the program, community members make the investment decisions. Reviewers will work in small teams of three to five, reading a subset (approximately 10) of the applications submitted. Through written application reviews and conversations with grant applicants, they will work to identify applicants in their pool they would like to fund. Final funding decisions will be made following the assessment of information collected from all review teams.
Deadline to apply: June 8 at 11:59 PM
