Black Women's Non-Profit Awards Grants to Local Southern Groups as Part of Joy-Filled Tour
The grants will support maternal health, violence prevention and education programs as community groups face funding crunches under Trump administration policies.
- The Southern Black Girls and Women's Consortium is granting $350,000 to two dozen community organizations across 13 states, coinciding with the summer 'Joy and Justice' tour featuring resource drives and festivals in nine cities.
- Amid the Trump administration's scrutiny of DEI policies, Southern Black Girls Executive Director Chance Lundy described maintaining corporate funding as "extremely difficult," noting that philanthropy has retrenched and organizations lack resources on the ground.
- Co-Founder LaTosha Brown said Black women's longstanding participation in liberal politics made them a "target" in the current climate, though she emphasized social justice movements remain anchored in the country's history despite these exacerbated pressures.
- As the U.S. prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, Lundy said the tour promotes Black women's place in history, describing young Black girls as the "antidote" to current challenges while keeping the organization's humanity intact.
- Tour stops include schools and community centers in majority-Black neighborhoods, with one rally at the Virginia Capitol alongside agency leaders promoting diversity, following a survey finding that about 9 in 10 Black women backed Vice President Kamala Harris for the presidency.
