Community Investment

With your support, we’ve granted $714,580 to date to Black-led organizations and efforts working for the protection and liberation of Black Life.

Black Lives Matter Seattle-King County believes one of the most important actions we can take now is direct community support. The Black-Led Community Investment Fund supports Black-led organizations and efforts that have long worked to serve our local community.
