Black Led Organizations
The Black Equity Collective (BEC) connects Black-led organizations (BLOs) and funders to build a thriving ecosystem of shared power, purpose, and possibility. We strengthen Black leadership, deepen collaboration, and center joy as a strategy for liberation.

Funders
We recognize that philanthropic practices tend to operate counterculturally to community. We invite funders to reimagine these norms, build authentic relationships with BLOs and engage in bidirectional trust as a partner to organizations working on the frontlines of social change.

Partners and Allies
A thriving ecosystem requires us to work across geographies, issue areas and skillsets. If you are a values-aligned organization or ally seeking to partner with BLOs to advance equity and justice, we’d love to hear from you to explore ways to collaborate.
