NAACP
(National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People)
The mission of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People is to ensure the
political, educational, social, and economic
equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate
racial hatred and racial discrimination.
Vision Statement
The vision of the National
Association for the
Advancement of Colored
People is to ensure a society
in which all individuals have
equal rights and there is no
racial hatred or racial
discrimination.
Objectives
1. To ensure the political, educational, social,
and economic equality of all citizens;
2. To achieve equality of rights and eliminate
race prejudice among the citizens of the
United States;
3. To remove all barriers of racial
discrimination through democratic
processes;
4. To seek enactment and enforcement of
federal, state, and local laws securing civil
rights;
5. To inform the public of the adverse effects
of racial discrimination and to seek its
elimination;
6. To educate persons as to their
constitutional rights and to take all lawful
action to secure the exercise thereof, and to
take any other lawful action in furtherance
of these objectives, consistent with the
NAACP's Articles of Incorporation and this
Constitution.
History
The nation's oldest civil rights organization has changed
America's history. Despite violence, intimidation and hostile
government policies, the NAACP and its grass-roots
membership persevered.
Formed in 1909, by a multiracial group of progressive thinkers,
the National Association for the Advancement of Colored
People (NAACP) is a non-profit organization established with
the objective of insuring the political, educational, social and
economic equality of minority groups.
Civic Engagement
The NAACP Civic
Engagement Department
has developed a 2006
Voter Empowerment
Program (VEP '06) as a
nonpartisan campaign
designed to empower
African Americans and
people of color by
increasing awareness and
participation in the
electoral process.
Education Department
The overall goal of the NAACP
National Education Department is to
ensure that all students have access
to an equal and high-quality public
education by eliminating all education
related racial and ethnic disparities.
Women in the NAACP
The purposes of WIN are:
1. to enhance the leadership role of women;
2. to serve as an advocacy vehicle for issues affecting women and
children;
3. to advocate for the positive development of children;
4. to support the on-going work of the NAACP and its units,
especially civil and cultural activities to enhance membership.
NCFBP
The National Center for
Black Philanthropy, Inc.
(NCBP) was established in
Washington, D.C. in 1999 as
a nonprofit, tax-exempt
organization to promote and
strengthen African American
participation in all aspects
of modern philanthropy.
Mission
• to promote philanthropic giving
in the African American
community, foster full
participation by African
Americans in all aspects of
philanthropy;
• educate the public about the
philanthropic contributions of
African Americans;
• strengthen and support people
and institutions engaged in the
practice of Black philanthropy;
• and conduct research into the
contributions of Black
philanthropy to the social and
economic well-being of all
Americans.
National Conferences
The National Conference on
Black Philanthropy has become
the pre-eminent gathering place
to discuss, celebrate and plan
for African American
achievement in philanthropy.
The conferences feature, on
average, over forty workshops,
panels and plenary sessions
exploring black participation in
grant making, fundraising,
individual giving, and faith-based
philanthropy through the
Historically Black Church.
Regional Conferences
Regional conferences, modeled after the
national conferences, have also been well
attended and highly successful in their
own right. These conferences provide an
opportunity for groups to address uniquely
local issues and concerns to which the
national conferences could not devote
much attention.
Black Business and Philanthropy
The Black Business and
Philanthropy program is aimed at
African American business owners,
entrepreneurs and black
executives of "majority" companies
to promote increased philanthropy.
Its primary goal is to educate black
business people about how
modern philanthropy can help
them achieve their own goals of
"giving back" to the community,
while also doing more business
with the multi-billion dollar Third
Sector (non-profit) market.
