Together We Can Make a Difference

The Black Belt Community Foundation was established in 2004 in response to the need to address disproportionate rates of poverty, unemployment, teen pregnancy, illiteracy, chronic illness and poor health in the 12 counties that make up Alabama’s Black Belt region. However, this is not simply a local challenge. The shock waves of poverty are felt far beyond the county lines of the Black Belt. They resonate in neighboring counties, at our state capital, and in the halls of the United States Congress. We are your neighbors. And we are committed to making Alabama’s Black Belt a place where our families can live and prosper. But we need your help. Together, we can make a difference.
