About Us

With comprehensive and effective programs in the areas of resource development, community programs, technical assistance, training programs, referral services, crisis relief and international initiatives, IBC matches those who can help with those who need help. Together with community partnerships across the country and IBC’s six state affiliate offices and 100’s of affiliated local non-profit organizations, we produce successful outcomes to meet the needs of children, families and communities, locally, nationally and internationally. We focus on a quality support program that builds and sustain a permanent base of services for our communities.

Institute for Black Charities serves as an agent for philanthrophy and philanthropic causes. As a repository, we collect and distribute vital resources to the poor and disenfranchised, and in turn, we provide programs that improve the quality of life for children, families and communities in need.
Our major program vehicles are:
