Introducing “Funding Black-Led Change,” the captivating podcast series that takes you on a journey into the heart of the Fund for Black-Led Change, a visionary initiative launched by the Meyer Foundation in 2020. Join us as we shine a spotlight on the remarkable Black Organizing Excellence in the Greater DC Area.
Former Director for Strategy & Equity, Aisha Alexander-Young, affectionately referred to this fund as her “love song” to the Black organizers in the Greater Washington region. This podcast delves into what philanthropy could and should do to empower Black movements.
Discover the essence of the Fund for Black-Led Change, lovingly known as FBLC for short, a $20 million commitment by the Meyer Foundation. We explore how this fund is providing core support to 20 exceptional Black-led organizations in the Greater Washington region. These organizations are not just building power; they’re reshaping communities and redefining systems, all in the pursuit of liberty, justice, and happiness for everyone.
As we reach the midpoint of this incredible journey, we invite you to join us in exploring the impact on partnering organizations. What’s working? What needs to evolve to fulfill the Fund’s promise? And how can the philanthropic sector better champion the dynamic Black leader-full movement organizing? Tune in and be inspired by the stories of change, resilience, and progress in “Funding Black-Led Change.”
