OBJECTIVE 1:

Understand community needs & build connections

We began by listening. Understanding the specific needs of Black-led and Black-serving organizations is foundational to building the right supports and partnerships.

Key activities:

  • Engagement of community stakeholders through surveys and focus groups.
  • Building meaningful partnerships through reaching out to Black-led, Black-serving and mainstream organizations.
  • Tailored supports through active and intentional outreach and engagement, training and workshops.
  • Evaluation of the effectiveness of our engagement efforts

Expected outcomes:

  • The needs of MHBC funded projects identified
  • Additional Black-led organizations engaged
  • Developed tools and resources tailored for capacity-building initiatives
