Alabama ‘s Black Belt stretches across the middle of the state from Mississippi almost to the Georgia line. Rich in human, religious, geographic and political diversity, the Black Belt got its name from the region’s rich, dark soil. It is also home to the highest percentage of African Americans in Alabama .
Into this setting comes the Black Belt Community Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization supporting community efforts that contribute to the strength, innovation and success of the region.
The Foundation serves as a partner in philanthropy, making it possible for individuals, families and organizations to give back to the community in many ways, for example creating a personal fund, participating in a professionally managed fund, serving as a volunteer and in many other ways.
Our principles are honesty, diversity and courage in the stewardship of charitable resources. We value the strengths of pluralistic communities where economic, racial and social justice are practiced in a spirit of trust and sincerity.
We value relationships and connections that protect and perpetuate these values. Join with us in “taking what we have to make what we need.”
