OUR MISSION
The Southern Black Girls and Women’s Consortium is partnering with the NoVo foundation to support the growing movement for Black girls in the Southeastern U.S. a new collective of funders, activists and community leaders working to advance the movements for Black girls and women in the Southeast.
The Southern Black Girls and Women’s Consortium co-creates an infrastructure for regional grantmaking and movement building, providing resources to locally-based organizations run by and working directly for black girls, including those outside of traditional non-profit organizations.
In addition to direct grantmaking, the consortium will coordinate efforts and support opportunities to provide spaces for healing, political education, and organize capacity building for movements that center and are led by Black girls and women.
Who We Are
The consortium is coordinated entirely by a community of Black women in philanthropy, activism and girls’ work, who hold deep roots in movement-building throughout the Southeast. The partnership recognizes their critical role and the importance of centering the lived experiences and leadership of those most impacted by deep-seated injustice
