Black Resilience Fund (BRF) demonstrates the power of hope and action by building community and showing up directly for Black Portlanders. Since its launch on June 1, 2020, BRF has raised over $2.500,000 for Black Portlanders. There are many challenges ahead, shaped by a year of heartache and uncertainty, in addition to generations of unresolved injustice.

We’ve accomplished so much since our founding in 2020, demonstrating the power of hope and action by building community and showing up directly for Black Portlanders.

Since January 2023, the Black Resilience Fund has provided 25 households in Multnomah county with a 3 year guaranteed basic income (GBI). The members of our Village Building Cohort are working toward their goals of home ownership, entrepreneurship, furthering their education and securing financial stability. Over the next 3 years we will be measuring our program outcomes of building social, spiritual and economic capacity.

This is why Black Resilience Fund is here. Inspired by the resilient spirit of this community, we will always be there whenever our Black neighbors are in need.

For all of our futures, let’s make Portland a bridge for racial justice.
