We are excited to share our 2019-2020 impact report! Last year, we have been able to:

• Collectively invest nearly $700,000 from the statewide pooled fund and aligned funding directly into organizations in California working to advance opportunity for boys and men of color.
• Leverage more than $5.5 million to support the work of community partners focused on California Funders for Boys and Men of Color strategies.
• Grow our membership in 2019, welcoming NextGen Policy and Stuart Foundation.
• Support the Alliance for Boys and Men of Color, which passed four pieces of legislation in 2019.
• Support Assembly Select Committee on the Status of Boys and Men of Color in organizing one hearing and five community roundtables throughout California.
• Launch the Here to Lead storytelling initiative, highlighting the stories and leadership efforts of multigenerational boys and men of color across the state.

Learn more about our impact from across the state, through each of the RACs and the major policy wins from the past year in our 2019-2020 report.

We hope you continue to be inspired by what’s possible when we not only believe, but invest in boys and men of color. Here is to the year and the work ahead as we double down on our efforts to dismantle barriers and expand opportunities for boys and men of color.
