The National Black United Fund promotes charitable giving and volunteerism by African Americans. It serves as a national coordinating and planning body for local affiliates that raise money primarily through employee payroll deduction and then distribute the funds to community-based nonprofits serving the African-American community.

The NBUF vision for the future builds on its national network of Black American philanthropic organizations dedicated to promoting community-based philanthropy, and continues its embryonic success in mainstream philanthropy by expanding its current workplace giving strategy and transitioning to more permanent and self-sustaining models of funding.
The NBUF goal is to bring new philanthropic dollars into local Black American communities by educating and securing the commitment of individuals who understand charitable giving, but who historically have not participated in organized giving programs. In order to reach that goal, NBUF has developed new vision to leverage its past success and transform to a more viable funding resource for the entire Black American community. The success of this strategy, however, is dependent upon the strategic and planned giving of the Black American community and support from mainstream philanthropic institutions.
We make a difference in the lives of people by investing in organizations that impact children, families and communities. National Black United Fund values self-help, economic opportunity, positive community change and social justice.

I am a private-pay, out-of-network provider. While I do not accept insurance directly, your insurance plan may have out-of-network benefits, meaning they will reimburse you for a portion of our session cost. I have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you. With Thrizer you will only have to pay you copay for our sessions, instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursements. This can save you on average 70% upfront on our sessions. During our free 20-minute virtual consultation, I will provide you with the Thrizer so you can verify your out of network benefits and find out what your copay+processing fee will be.
