Brown Hope, a Portland-based nonprofit is a community solution for racial justice, created the
The Black Resilience Fund in 2020 that is dedicated to fostering healing and resilience in our community by providing immediate resources to Black Portlanders.
 
Through the generous support of over 18,000 individuals and Portland area businesses, over $2.1 million in micro grants were distributed to over 7,000 Black Portlanders in 2020.
 
Recognizing the overwhelming success of this giving model, Beneficial State Bank sponsored a webinar to help other communities replicate The Black Resilience Fund. The webinar discussed how the Black Resilience Fund came into existence and provided best practices for the creation of Resilience Funds in other communities.
