The Association of Black Foundation Executives seeks to strengthen its role as a convener and information clearinghouse for philanthropy on improving life outcomes for black males, and OSI support will allow the Association to (1) conduct surveys of ABFE membership for grant and investment monitoring; (2) host four national and regional convenings, partnering with regionally-based philanthropic affinity groups, for ABFE members and other members to engage, mobilize, and share challenges and strategies for using philanthropy to address the needs of black males; and (3) provide a policy voice on issues facing this population to key audiences (including the National Governors Association, National Council of State Legislators, U.S. Conference of Mayors, National Urban League, among others).
