Black Greek Fest Foundation

History too rich to ignore.

The Black Greek Fest Foundation is a 501(c3) nonprofit organization built on multiple rich histories

that we are committed to honoring with our work. These histories affect our present, honor our past and guide our present.

If it doesn’t sound community-driven, it doesn’t sound like Black Greek Fest Foundation.

our mission

Our mission is to harness the power of togetherness within Black communities to address systemic racism and power imbalances that disproportionately affect those uplifted by Black Greek Lettered Organizations, both historically and currently.

D.C.

our vision

Our vision is to unify key stakeholders in local Black communities to lead projects addressing socioeconomic issues, inequity, and social injustice, while providing valuable contributions to these crucial topics.
