Our Purpose

Why we exist

The Black Fund of Central Texas exists to help harness the power of Black-led organizations and elevate solutions that strengthen the Black community, creating ripple effects that benefit the broader community and economy of Central Texas. Guided by data and community voices, we are committed to fostering a society that prioritizes fairness, opportunity, and well-being, empowering Black-led organizations to drive more growth that uplifts everyone. Our community-centered approach embraces abundance and collaboration to create transformative, lasting change.

Our Theory of Change

If we invest in Black-led organizations by creating a fund that helps all Black leaders thrive, then Black-led organizations will scale, we will have an equitable system in which Black people can thrive, disparate outcomes will decrease, and Black-led organizations will be fully empowered to contribute to a more sustainable community that benefits all people.
