Deadline: 06/01/2022

Details:

AAL engages leaders in philanthropy, collectively and individually, and provides support to nonprofit organizations that work at the community level to educate and engage communities, and to provide neighborhood-based services and solutions to address community problems. Grounded in the philosophies of collective giving, community engagement and grant making, AAL serves as a convener and catalyst to promote significant impact in Black communities through the organizations that it supports.

They continue to be concerned about the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically as it relates to:

  • long-term educational losses of Black students as a result of limited in-person schooling
  • mental health challenges
  • job instability, financial strain, new employment opportunities
  • systemic racism and its impact on the health and wellbeing of their communities
  • viability of Black arts organizations

2022 Focus Areas

AAL will support Black community organizations working in the following areas:

  • Education- they seek to support organizations that provide academic enrichment assistance in the areas of reading, writing, and mathematics to Black students, grades K-12
  • Mental Health- they seek to support organizations that prepare providers or community members to deliver or advocate for a broad range of mental health services including trauma informed care and in doing so actively responds to the disproportionate burden of stress on Black people and Black communities due to employment instability, financial strain, family stress, trauma and gun violence
  • Activism- they seek to support organizations that actively dismantle anti-Black racism and improves the quality of life for Black people and communities.
  • Arts- they seek to support arts and cultural organizations that share and celebrate the lived experiences of Black people past, present, and future.
  • Job Creation- they seek to support organizations that create jobs through social enterprises, worker cooperatives or micro entrepreneurship for youth, ages 16 to 24
