Mission
Develop and implement a national agenda for black health
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The Council on Black Health operates several programs funding in part by the robert wood johnson foundation (rwjf) among other generous supporters. Rwjf provided a general operating support grant to support mission driven work of the council. Through this funding and those of other donors, the council supported staff to develop a youth advocacy training program, staff to develop the womens health equity institute, staff to develop protocols and frameworks for the trusted health navigator/community health worker training, and staff participation in national conferences and workshops that help to elevate the councils national presence (e.g., black health connect; black directors health equity agenda).

Through funding from the robert wood johnson foundation, this project explores the potential impact of identifying and pursuing a joint agenda across national organizations to address policies, systems, and environments that impact black health. Accomplishments over the past year include: 1) convening the national partners over a 2-day in-person meeting to develop a collective agenda, including action steps; 2) convening more than 5,000 members across partners organizations to provide education on policies that impact healthcare quality among black americans; and 3) developing and online training program to educate youth and adults about how food environments can impact health outcomes, and strategies that can be implemented to improve nutrition environments in black communities.
$266,128 spent$494,771 earned by the program19% of program spendingThe solutions to diabetes in black americans is a national resource core led by the council. The sdba has expanded services to address structural, cultural, and contextual issues that interact to influence diabetes research translation to address systemic causes of diabetes inequities (e.g., racism, bias, discrimination). Aims of this core are to: (1) provide foundational knowledge about how historical oppression and structural racism affect the lives of black americans and current contexts for viable and sustainable interventions on t2dm, obesity and related risk factors; (2) advance the use of systematic approaches to incorporating social determinants of health, cultural, and other contextual influences in t2dm and obesity research with black populations; and (3) increase the capacity of investigators to address critical gaps in diabetes translation research with black populations.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $178k to $1.2M (+581%).
How it's funded, over time

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
