Building Black Generational Wealth, Health, and Well-being

As a society, we are called on to change to disrupt the imbalance of power and create a liberated future with shared prosperity for Black people.

The Black Future Co-op Fund is a new paradigm for philanthropy uplifting Black-led solutions that ignite Black generational wealth, health, and well-being.

We See You!

As part of our endeavors to shift the philanthropic paradigm, the Black Future Co-op Fund announces a $2.6M investment — in partnership with the BIPOC Executive Directors Coalition — to support the rest, healing, and liberation of Black nonprofit leaders statewide.

By and For Black Washingtonians

The Black Future Co-op Fund is a cooperative philanthropy rooted in the beauty, soulfulness, and strength of Blackness. Our vision is a Washington state, working cooperatively, where all Black people are liberated, prosperous, and self-determined to fully live our lives.

Our 2023-2025 Strategic Framework

Building on what we’ve learned, we developed a three-year strategic plan organized around four primary areas of impact: connected Black communities for collective power, promoted truthful Black narratives, invested in Black generational prosperity, and shifted the philanthropic paradigm.

We’re Listening

Black Washingtonians are the soul of the Fund. We recently hosted a series of listening sessions across the state to hear directly from community. We are in the process of distilling what we heard and learned, which will help shape our own approaches and be shared with our colleagues to inform the sector. If you didn’t get to participate in a listening session, we hope you will still share your ideas.
