BHM: The Black Excellence Community Fund

A brand new community fund in Salisbury is looking to help promote Black Excellence and improve the resources available to the community.

The Black Excellence Community Fund is a giving circle by the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore, where members work together to preserve cultural awareness and pride by expanding the benefits of education, health, and welfare in Black communities, while teaching the values of philanthropy through education and financial literacy. They are doing so by supplying funding and information to local nonprofits about valuable resources that are already in place or still needed in the community.

47 ABC spoke with Sonya Whited, founder of the new fund, who was excited by the new program.

The fund will announce its first grantee before the end of February.
