BLACK BELT COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
A Transformed Black Belt
The Black Belt Community Foundation works to leverage many region-wide improvement efforts toward a common goal of transforming the Black Belt. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about how we work with community organizations, donors, and volunteers to forge a collective stream of giving from the community and other sources so we can enhance our continuing efforts to lift ourselves by “taking what we have to make what we need.” Please join us as we work to build a transformed Black Belt where all of our residents contribute to healthy communities and reap the benefits of our shared gifts and a productive regional economy.
