Black Resilience in Colorado (BRIC) Fund is the first Black-focused community fund established in Colorado, explicitly providing financial resources and support to Black-led and serving organizations. Established on Juneteenth (June 19, 2020), BRIC is more than a fund…It is a movement forward for change to address systemic racism and inequities that negatively impact Black communities throughout the seven-county Metro Denver area and beyond. BRIC is an inclusive entity that welcomes diverse support. It empowers organizations and individuals to invest in the sustained organizational growth of Black-led and serving nonprofits – to ensure their work continues and the communities served are not left behind.
