Black Equity Collective has commissioned NFF to do a survey of Black-led and Black-empowering organizations in California. Our goal is to capture an expansive view of the wealth and well-being that Black-led and Black-empowering organizations deliver to this state. The data captured will highlight economic and cultural contributions at scale and will bring this story to those who need to hear it the most: funders, legislators, our communities, and beyond.

To make this story powerful, we need to hear from as many Black-led and Black-empowering organizations in California as possible.

Add your voice and share the survey far and wide with other organizations in your circles. Your voices will be critical in amplifying the truth, strength, strategic disruption, and love of a collective lived experience.

In case you’d like to gather the information ahead of time, we have prepared this worksheet with some of the survey questions where you may need to gather information in order to answer (this is not a complete list of questions). It also will help if you have your latest Form 990, Annual Report and Organizational Budget available.

Please complete the survey before August 16, 2024 so your voice can be counted.

To thank you and your network for the time and effort to complete the survey, one $75 gift card per organization will be offered to the first 200 responding organizations. All individual responses will be held in confidence and will be aggregated for the final report.

We greatly appreciate your support and partnership on this critical initiative!
