Help Us Meet Our $25,000 Goal — Every Dollar Will Be Matched!
We’re thrilled to share that generous supporters—who wish to remain anonymous—have committed to match every donation to BLK South up to $25,000. That means your gift will go twice as far to support our work in reclaiming, restoring, and reimagining sacred Black spaces in the South.

This matching campaign is a powerful opportunity to lengthen our impact, and we can’t do it without you. Your contribution helps us get to Durham, NC and do the good work of community development—connecting with community, nurturing leadership, and honoring the rich cultural legacy of the South.

Give today and double your impact. We’re so grateful to walk this journey with you.

BLK South is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to the healing and vibrancy of historic African American communities in the South. Through a process of reverse migration, we’re returning to places that once held our people in chains to now co-create spaces of cultural restoration, economic flourishing, and sacred storytelling.

Founded by Kendall and Erin Dooley, BLK South responds to the Spirit’s invitation to reclaim the South as sacred—through community development, arts and cultural preservation, education, and healing justice.

We believe Black communities hold the wisdom, power, and creativity to shape a more beautiful future. That’s why we partner with local organizations, churches, artists, and leaders to restore identity, preserve heritage, and nurture holistic well-being in under-resourced neighborhoods.

We’re launching our next chapter in Durham, North Carolina this summer—and we need your help. We're raising $25,000 in 2025 and every dollar will be matched. Your gift will directly support the work of BLK South as we put down roots and co-create new projects alongside the community.

This is an invitation to invest in a vision where the South is not only remembered but revered. Where the blood in the soil speaks of both pain and possibility. Where healing happens and futures are built.

If this vision resonates with you, join us. Give, share, pray, or partner. However you come, you are welcome here.

With deep gratitude,
Kendall & Erin Dooley
