Grants for Black Girls and Women in the South

Black women and girls across the South are getting a powerful boost as the Southern Black Girls and Women’s Consortium awards $350,000 in grants to 24 community groups tackling maternal health, gender-based violence, and education—issues often ignored despite their critical impact. Amid shrinking philanthropic support and rising policy headwinds, this initiative celebrates the resilience of Black women, who’ve long been the backbone of Southern culture and economy. Beyond funding, the consortium’s “Joy and Justice” tour brings community events, resource drives, and a Capitol rally to push for racial and gender equity in government. This isn’t just aid—it’s affirmation: Black women and girls are the solutions, not the problems. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
