Thank you for your support in 2022! This year, BlackFemaleProject has focused on implementing our 2022-2024 strategic plan. We’re diligently working to build our organizational capacity, and our goal for the coming few years is to transition from an emerging to an established nonprofit organization.
One investment we made in 2022 was in focused fundraising training for our leadership team, so that we have the knowledge and skills we need to build a strong, sustainable donor base.
We thank all of you—our community—for your donations, event attendance, and encouragement. Your contributions support our ability to carry out our mission of uplifting #BlackWomenAtWork. And with your help, we’ll close out 2022 strong.

Thank you, Fern Stroud
We thank incorporating board member Fern A. Stroud for her service and commitment. Though Fern stepped down from the board in March 2022, she’ll continue her generous service to BlackFemaleProject as an advisory council member.
Special thanks to all who've attended events in 2022.
Stay tuned for our exciting 2023 BlackFemaleProject program offerings.
STRATEGIC PLAN
Building on the strategic plan we developed in 2021, we spent 2022 particularly focused on capacity building and “leveling up.” We are dedicating time to ensure that everyone working with BlackFemaleProject has the roadmaps, resources, and supports needed to design and deliver quality programming in 2023 and beyond.
There are three main goals laid out in our plan.
GOAL 1: Create the infrastructure necessary to support a growing, dynamic, and successful BlackFemaleProject.
GOAL 2: Develop the financial sustainability necessary to staff the organization appropriately and effectively.
GOAL 3: Invest in the development and capacity of board and staff so they can carry out the mission and work toward the vision of BlackFemaleProject.
