Do you want to make a lasting, generational impact for racial justice?

To achieve the visionary change we seek, philanthropy must deeply invest in the permanency of the Black-led change ecosystem in Minnesota, which has historically been targeted, under-resourced, and under-recognized. We need your support to change this reality and amplify the Black leaders and innovators who are creating holistic solutions for the well-being of our communities. If you’d like to join these donors in abundantly investing in the next generation of changemakers, please reach out to us at leadership@mnblackcf.org
