Investing in Black Led Organizations
Black leaders share the truth of their experiences guiding community organizations in The Case for Investing in King County’s Black-led Organizations.
The Case for Investing in Black Led Organizations
Objective
Byrd Barr Place, along with Cardea Services, had the honor of hearing from Black leaders across King County to present this compelling case for increased investment in Black-led organizations providing essential services to communities.
Based on interviews and surveys, The Case for Investing in King County’s Black-led Organizations lifts up the many strengths of Black-led organizations, as well as highlights barriers to funding opportunities that have led to significant under-investment in the Black community. The report is a call to do better, with recommendations for listening and building trust, recognizing the Black community is not a monolith and taking a culturally centered approach to philanthropy.
Thanks to the Seattle Foundation for wanting to learn more from Black leaders and Black-led organizations in King County and financially supporting this report.
