A Force for Healing & Advocacy
We Are 240+ BIPOC-led Nonprofits Uniting Statewide
As Black, Indigenous, and People of Color nonprofit executive directors across Washington state, we are joining in solidarity to promote wellness and restore resources in our communities. Through healing and advocacy, our multicultural, cross-sector collaborative works to nourish our collective well-being and generate shared abundance. Together, with you, we will recreate the fabric of society.
Our 2023 Legislative Agenda
We can join together to Invest in BIPOC Futures! The world as it has existed has not served Black and Brown people. The BIPOC ED Coalition is here to create the container to change that world. Our legislative agenda is one way we do it. Learn about our priorities and take action with us.
Announcing Sabbatical Leadership Awardees
We‘re thrilled to announce $1.37M in sabbatical and respite grants to support 32 BIPOC leaders and their nonprofit organizations in healing and renewal. Sabbaticals are vital for our individual and collective wellness.
How We Make Change
An Affirming Space for BIPOC Leaders
As Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, we are holding the communal weight of systems of oppression on our people and our ancestors. In coming together, we validate each other in authentic ways — fortifying ourselves and our organizations.
Calling In Philanthropy and Other Allies
It‘s no secret philanthropy has been based on a decidedly unfair power dynamic. At the BIPOC ED Coalition, we are calling in philanthropic partners and other allies to reimagine your roles and commit to working with BIPOC-led organizations in more powerful ways.
“We are closest to the problems and are therefore closest to the solutions..”
