FUND THE WORK. BUILD WHAT LASTS.

Be Connected Durham & Beyond is a Black women-led nonprofit building community wealth, cultural sovereignty and the infrastructure required to sustain both.

Our first decade proved the work.

The next is about making it permanent.

Your gift can support the work wherever it is most needed, or you may direct your giving toward BE WELL™, institution building, or permanent cultural infrastructure.

Give once. Give monthly. Give through your donor-advised fund.

Give publicly or quietly.

However you enter, you are helping build something meant to last.

BE WELL™

We fund viability, not hustle.

BE WELL is our Black women-led community wealth and economic sovereignty initiative. Our first annual capitalization goal is $1.5 million.

THE NEXT DECADE

Our 2026–2035 vision begins at $22.5M+ in capitalization across community wealth, institutional capacity, and permanent cultural infrastructure.

Some people will give $25.

Some $25,000.

Some $1.5 million.

It all builds the work.

FUND THE WORK. BUILD WHAT LASTS.

Help build the next decade of Black women-led community wealth, cultural sovereignty, and permanent infrastructure.
