Investing in Black Women. Transforming the South.

Since its inception, BSWC has invested over $7 million in Black women-led organizations across the South, emphasizing leadership development and systemic change.

Build Infrastructure for Collective Power

We are designing systems that let Black women-led organizations move with strength and freedom, not red tape. By sharing resources, knowledge, and strategy, we’re building the foundation for long-term power across the South.

Expand Organizing Capacity

We grow by lifting as we climb. By supporting Black women organizers across counties and parishes, we expand our reach and impact. This is how we win, in community, not isolation.

Shift Power Dynamics

We’re not just challenging the system, we’re reimagining who holds power and how it’s used. Through organizing, campaigns, and political education, we’re building new relationships between people and power.

Build Narrative & Ideological Power

We tell the truth and shift the story. Through culturally grounded messaging and storytelling, we disrupt false narratives, mobilize our communities, and shape public perception in ways that reflect our brilliance.

Deepen Base-Building

Our organizing is rooted in real relationships. We invest in local leaders, train everyday people, and build community power from the ground up, because deep roots grow lasting change.

Accountability & Action

We measure what matters and we move with intention. With a shared strategy and clear metrics, we hold ourselves and our systems accountable to the communities we serve and the future we’re building.

Our Blueprint for a Liberated South

A liberated South is one where Black women are not just surviving, but thriving. Where we are leading with vision, holding institutional power, living in safety, and shaping narratives rooted in truth. It looks like our people cared for, our voices respected, and our communities resourced. This blueprint is both a declaration and a roadmap, born from our lived experiences, spiritual wisdom, and generational dreams.
