How Can I Contribute? The Black United Fund is one of few organizations using payroll deduction as a primary revenue source. Payroll deduction is the least costly, most efficient, effective, and convenient way for individuals to support a favorite organization and cause through a central point of giving.
How are Donations Distributed?
Financial grants are awarded to organizations and projects that reflect the Black United Fund mission. Organizations are asked to present funding or program proposals and to make presentations regarding goals and activities.
