BLACK: A Festival of Joy is not just an event — it is a living, breathing space where Black culture is protected, celebrated, and activated. As we grow, we are committed to expanding our platform, increasing our reach, and creating even more opportunities for connection, visibility, and impact across our community.

Your investment fuels more than a festival. It builds a legacy. Every dollar helps create lasting spaces where culture is honored, Black businesses flourish, and future generations find belonging. This is not charity. This is community architecture.

We are building something bold, beautiful, and rooted in purpose — and you are part of it. Your support helps us scale, strengthen, and sustain this platform so we can serve more creators, more businesses, and more families year after year.

When you give, you are investing in:

• Expanding platforms for Black artists, makers, and entrepreneurs
• Safe, joyful, and vibrant spaces for community connection
• Intergenerational joy and cultural preservation
• Sustainable economic opportunity within our community

Our Foundational Pillars

Joy as Resistance
We reclaim joy as a revolutionary act — a source of power, healing, and resilience.

Centering Black Narratives
We amplify Black voices, stories, and lived experiences — in their truth, brilliance, and diversity.

Unity
We intentionally cultivate connections across generations, cultures, and economic lines.

Collective Advancement
We build pathways for economic empowerment, collaboration, and long-term sustainability.

Unapologetically Black
We honor authenticity, protect our traditions, and celebrate our culture without compromise.

Your contribution — no matter the size — moves us closer to our $2,000 goal and strengthens the foundation for future festivals, programs, and community spaces.
