The Black Food Fund recovers financial capital and redirects it to support Black food and land justice across Oregon and Washington.
Leveraging capital for social change is both a material and symbolic act. It acknowledges historic dispossession and offers a form of reparative redress. At its core, this work creates pathways for Black farmers to build collective wealth and establish cooperative structures that support the wellbeing of future generations. It is about confronting and transforming systems that were never designed for Black communities to thrive.
Since 2020, we have redistributed 52 grants to 49 Black farmers and land stewards across Oregon and Washington. These resources support community-led efforts to advance food justice and preserve Black agricultural traditions. Funds have been used to purchase equipment to expand operations, develop food justice initiatives that connect Black communities with culturally-relevant foods and medicines, and reclaim ancestral climate stewardship practices.
