Be Present is a national organization rooted in the rural Black women's organizing traditions of the Deep South and headquartered in Stone Mountain, Georgia. For more than four decades, we have built sustainable leadership for racial and social justice through the Be Present Empowerment Model®, a replicable process for confronting how racism and other forms of oppression undermine a community's capacity to create lasting institutional change.

Our organizing core groups reach from Atlanta to New York and New Jersey, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Portland, with emerging groups in Greenville and Boston.

Your gift to the general fund supports the whole of that work. We hold that all people, from all backgrounds, are investors in and receivers of this work. Thank you for investing.
