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.
The Black Well-being report is here!
The Black Well-being: Moving Toward Solutions Together report is a collective naming of what Black Washingtonians want in our communities and the solutions we have identified to manifest our collective vision. We honor every voice, story, and experience enveloped in this report and share it as a love letter to Black Washingtonians. Read it, use it, and share it with your networks!
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.
Confronting Anti-Blackness
Black people have long been vital contributors to Washington communities. Yet, anti-Black racism has purposely and persistently undermined the opportunity for Black people to build wealth over generations. Discriminatory policies and the systemic devaluing of Black lives have perpetuated unequal and adverse life outcomes for Black people.
Black communities are forging new pathways to self-determination, as America reckons with racism and racial injustice.

We’re Listening
Black Washingtonians are shaping the priorities of the Fund. In the months ahead, we are meeting with and listening to Black communities throughout the state—from Colville to Wapato, Vancouver to Bellingham, and everywhere in between. By centering Black voices, perspectives, and experiences, we recognize and uplift the true narrative of Black people across Washington.
