Grants, Justice, and Joy for Black Girls

This summer, the Southern Black Girls and Women’s Consortium is pouring $350,000 into 24 organizations across 13 Southern states to empower Black women and girls through health, safety, and education initiatives. Facing shrinking philanthropic support amid shifting federal policies, the consortium is doubling down with a bold “Joy and Justice” tour—bringing community events, resource drives, and festivals to nine cities, including a Capitol rally in Virginia. Led by executive director Chanceé Lundy and co-founder LaTosha Brown, the effort celebrates Black women’s enduring leadership in justice movements while uplifting young girls to see themselves as powerful agents of change, especially as the nation prepares for its 250th anniversary.
