Twenty-First Century Foundation

Twenty-First Century Foundation

"Our mission is to lead, innovate and influence giving for Black community change. As one of the few, endowed, Black foundations in the U.S., Twenty-First Century Foundation (21CF) works to advance the welfare of the Black community through strategic and collective grant making; special initiatives and research; donor education and donor services...

"In 1971, when Robert S. Browne, founder of 21CF, gave the grant making institution its name, many people thought it was far ahead of its time. Not just because of the futuristic ring to it – Twenty-First Century - but because Browne’s depth of vision led him to establish an endowment, as the cornerstone of a permanent, renewable resource for Black community initiative."
