Nearly $1 million in grants awarded to Black nonprofits
The Hampton Roads Community Foundation recently awarded nearly $1 million in grants to 30 local Black nonprofit organizations as a part of its commitment to racial equity.
This commitment involves confronting unfair and unjust policies and practices that persistently limit opportunities for Black people in Hampton Roads and beyond.
The grants come from the Black Community Partnership Fund, which the Foundation launched in 2020 thanks to a $1 million gift from Facebook to support Black nonprofits.
The Foundation awarded grants to nonprofits with a majority Black board of directors, executive leadership and/or staff, and that primarily serve Black people.
