About Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Inc.
Since its establishment in 1976, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Inc. has served as a transformative force in Washington, DC, advancing the global Black community through leadership cultivation, economic empowerment, and civic engagement. Born from the vision of the Congressional Black Caucus itself, CBCF embodies a commitment to developing tomorrow's leaders while ensuring that all communities have an equal voice in shaping public policy.
As self-described risk-takers, change makers, and creative thinkers, CBCF's team is dedicated to making a tangible difference in the lives of Black Americans and communities worldwide. The foundation's mission centers on three pillars: developing leaders who will champion equity and justice, informing policy through rigorous research and analysis, and educating the public about issues that impact Black communities. CBCF believes that meaningful change requires bringing diverse perspectives together—uniting subject experts, industry leaders, elected officials, students, and concerned citizens in meaningful dialogue.
What distinguishes CBCF is its deep commitment to both immediate action and long-term systemic transformation. The organization recognizes that economic opportunity, voting access, and equitable policy representation are interconnected, and works holistically to address these challenges. Through its various programs, research initiatives, and community partnerships, CBCF continues to honor its founding vision of creating a world where Black communities thrive with agency, opportunity, and full participation in democratic processes.
