About North Carolina Black Alliance
North Carolina Black Alliance Inc. centers its grantmaking on Black communities in North Carolina, with a program mix that ties state policy work to voter engagement, leadership development, and community engagement. Its active fellowship, the Honorable Eva M. Clayton Fellowship, is housed within the organization and gives college students across North Carolina mentorship, leadership development, and issue-advocacy training in democracy, health care, environmental justice, communications, and operations. Recent grants show a strong emphasis on civic participation and campus-based organizing. The foundation awarded $40,000 to Word Tabernacle Church for GOTV work and $15,000 to Foundation for NC A&T St Univ for Campus and HBCU GOTV - Votecoming. It also funded North Carolina Central Univ with $13,000 for Youth Voter GOTV - Votecoming, linking student outreach to broader democracy work. Alongside those grants, the organization has supported education, public-interest advocacy, and community institutions across the state, including legal, cultural, and faith-based groups. The 2025 filing shows a foundation making relatively focused grants rather than a wide mix of uneven sizes, with repeated support for the same kinds of civic and equity-focused activities.
What North Carolina Black Alliance Funds
Civic participation is a core theme. In 2025, North Carolina Black Alliance Inc. gave $40,000 to Word Tabernacle Church for GOTV, $16,000 to Walls Production for GOTV, and $10,000 to Goldsboro Wayne NAACP for GOTV, showing recurring support for turnout work through churches, media, and local advocacy groups. Campus and youth engagement appear in both grants and program design. The foundation awarded $15,000 to Foundation for NC A&T St Univ for Campus and HBCU GOTV - Votecoming and $13,000 to North Carolina Central Univ for Youth Voter GOTV - Votecoming. Its Honorable Eva M. Clayton Fellowship also places college students in leadership and issue-advocacy training. Environmental justice is another visible area. In 2025, Kinston Teens Inc received $10,000 for Environmental Justice, while Bennett College and North Carolina Central Univer each received $10,000 for Environmental Justice in 2025.
How North Carolina Black Alliance Gives
Grant size is tightly clustered: p25, median, and p75 are all $10,000, which suggests a standard award amount used across much of the portfolio. The year-on-year record also shows repeat support for similar causes, with some organizations appearing in multiple years, such as The Apple of His Eye Apostoli and Bennett College. The foundation is a 501(c)(3), not an individual funder, and it does not make program-related investments. It accepts unsolicited applications for the Honorable Eva M. Clayton Fellowship, which is a summer fellowship housed within the organization.
