From building up our civic infrastructure to spearheading our response to the Great Recession, the Trust has brought our community together to face pressing challenges and seize our greatest opportunities.

We are requesting $15,000 in general operating support to help us cover our staff costs. While we had a successful fundraising year, none of those funds are multi-year, and a substantial amount of them were a result of the BLM protests and increased awareness of supporting Black organizations. With the ongoing pandemic, and limited funds available for Black-founded/led organizations, we are mindful that we may not be able to raise the same level of funds this year and beyond. Additionally, the demand for our programming increased tremendously, which resulted in our need to hire a program team. Your support will ensure that we provide our staff with market rate livable wages that values their labor, and their job security with us.
