About us
Empower and uplift African-American communities.
BCF has awarded more than $3.5 million to more than 200 nonprofit organizations addressing critical community needs. In 2010, BCF launched an academic scholarship program. Students receive a minimum of $5,000 and commit to 16 hours of community service. 84 students make up BCF's college-going pipeline, and they have a presence in 33 U.S. institutions, from HBCUs (historically black colleges and universities) to Ivy Leagues.
Our mission is to provide support and leadership to enhance socio-economic aspects of African-American communities in the Greater Kansas City area.
