TWO WAYS TO GIVE
We have a goal: Raise $10 million by 2025. Join us as we continue to elevate the voices, power, and resilience of Black leaders; own our narrative; and build strong Black communities from within—BRIC by BRIC.
There are two ways you can make a financial contribution:
Way #1
Way #2
Donate to Support BRIC’s Annual Programs and Initiatives
Your one-time or recurring donation helps support the work we’re doing now. It funds our innovative grants and initiatives, all designed to provide Black-led and Black-serving nonprofits with a full range of opportunities focused on organizational growth and strengthening community-based services.
If you have questions about including BRIC in your estate planning to establish your family’s legacy of giving, please contact LaDawn Sullivan at lsullivan@bricfund.org.

"Philanthropy is not a transaction. In order for change to happen, there needs to be engagement and dialogue, which helps bring a strategic focus on how we can make a collective impact. The Black community has a long history of philanthropy that comes from resilience and optimism - because you can't have one without the other."
~ Karen McNeil-Miller - President & CEO, Colorado Health Foundation
