About Us
At Grantmakers for Girls of Color (G4GC), we are striving to create a philanthropic home that follows the leadership of girls, femmes and gender-expansive youth of Color, and invests in their liberation.
G4GC is a philanthropic organization with a mission to cultivate and mobilize resources in support of girls* of color. Our mission to resource and support transformative organizing work that dismantles systems of oppression in the U.S. and territories is founded on an infrastructure that reflects our values, a culture of partnership, healing, reciprocity, and love.
ABOUT OUR G4GC INITIATIVES, FUNDS, & PARTNERSHIPS
Our focus is on highlighting the necessity of investing in the success of these organizations across our communities, and their success. These initiatives aim to award grants and will work with organizations that are led by, and support, girls, femmes and gender-expansive youth of Color. These include:
Love Is Healing Fund, which was created to address the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on girls and gender-expansive youth of Color.
Black Girl Freedom Fund, which was launched in September 2020 with the mission to resource the braintrust, innovation, health, safety, education, artistic visions, research, and joy of Black girls, femmes and gender-expansive youth and their families at the same time as the #1Billion4BlackGirls campaign. Watch sessions from our Black Girl Freedom Week 2023.
