Founded in 2006, New England Blacks in Philanthropy (NEBIP) was created to inform and transform the practice of philanthropy in Black communities. The transformation that we seek is to create a straight line of sight from philanthropic grantmaking practice to self-sufficiency for the Black community.
New England Blacks in Philanthropy (NEBIP) is an affinity member entity that unites Black philanthropists, trustees and staff of grantmaking organizations. The purpose of NEBIP is to build a network of support that will enhance the philanthropic community’s ability to effectively address the specific needs of Black communities while increasing theinfluence and presence of Blacks in philanthropy by:
- Informing the grantmaking practice of organizations and individuals who are investing in Black communities
- Advocating for increased philanthropic investments within communities of color throughout New England
- Creating networking opportunities for Black people and therein increasing opportunities for Black leadership and/or representation in influential positions of power in the philanthropic community.
