The Southern Black Girls and Women's Consortium is accepting applications for the Black Girls Dream Fund grant. This initiative was launched on November 7th to provide resources and support for organizations led by Black women whose initiatives empower Black girls and women in the South.
LaTosha Brown, founder of Southern Black Girls, says the fund is a crucial step towards achieving the $100 million goal. She hopes it will move the needle in terms of transforming the lives of Black women and girls.
Malikah Berry Rogers, executive director of Southern Black Girls, explains that Black women and girls in the South are often neglected when it comes to philanthropic investments. A report published by Ms. Foundation titled Pocket Change: A Data Brief on Organizations Serving Black Women and Girls in the United States, confirmed that an uneven distribution of foundation funding exists. Southern Black Girls is committed to changing this by reaching their $100 million goal over the next decade.
The Black Girls Dream Fund applications are open until December 4th and grants are available for projects surrounding education, health and wellness, economic opportunity, social justice, leadership, and empowerment. The fund supports 13 states in the Southern region, including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, East Texas, West Virginia, and Virginia.
Notifications of awards will begin in January 2024. Southern Black Girls encourages everyone who shares their vision to join the movement and give wings to the aspirations of the next generation.
