Black Girl Freedom Fund Invests Over $4 Million In 68 Organizations, Part Of 1Billion4BlackGirls Campaign
From the time Morris was in high school, she was involved in educational justice and advocacy programs. She then focused her efforts on the research side of social justice campaigns and practices. Interested in the intersection of race, gender and justice, she noticed gaps in the research, which prompted her to ask more questions.
During this time, the NoVo Foundation launched G4GC and successfully convened 100 funders from the U.S. Immersed in the philanthropic community, the Foundation invited Morris to address the first convening of G4GC as an organizing body. In 2020, Morris became its first executive director. A year later, her title changed to president and CEO. Two years ago, G4GC became its own institution separating from NoVo Foundation.
Over $500 thousand was released to six organizations during the Fund’s first round of disbursement. Additionally, over $20 million was raised in investments in the campaign’s first year. The campaign is a mobilization effort within philanthropy, not just through G4GC and BGFF, but in partnership with other organizations and foundations.
By investing in Black girls and femmes, you deepen the rigor associated with society’s understanding of critical issues. It sharpens our ability to develop more comprehensive approaches that sustain society’s well-being.
