About us
ABFE is a membership-based philanthropic organization that advocates for responsive and transformative investments in Black communities. Partnering with foundations, nonprofits and individuals, ABFE provides its members with professional development and technical assistance resources that further the philanthropic sector’s connection and responsiveness to issues of equity, diversity and inclusion. Established in 1971 as the Association of Black Foundation Executives, the organization was credited with many of philanthropy’s early gains in diversity. It since has evolved into an influential network. In 2013, the organization shed its descriptor and adopted the simpler ABFE (ab-fee) to better reflect its broadening membership.

It’s ABFE. ✊🏾 Our story began in 1971 when a small group of Black foundation executives refused to accept the absence of Black voices in philanthropy. They took action then, and for 53 years, ABFE has been the soul of philanthropy, and we’re still here, fighting for Black communities and pushing for systemic change. This anniversary, we’re asking for your support. Donate $53 to honor our 53 years of progress and help us continue shaping the future of philanthropy. Join us. Together, we can build a more equitable tomorrow. Donate now: https://lnkd.in/e--envqu
