ABC works across Maryland as an educator, advocate, and supporter to eliminate race-based barriers and advance long-term solutions that create economic opportunities for African-Americans. We will strengthen significantly Maryland’s economy by focusing on the economic growth, the economic inclusion and economic influence of African Americans. Working with others who have a similar interest in Mary

land’s economic future, we will dismantle the institutional barriers and biases that prevent people from realizing their full potential by addressing broken systems, not broken people. Informed by data and leading through innovative and research based approaches, ABC will ensure that economic opportunities are extended to, and seek to advance ALL people.

The health of our communities is shaped by more than healthcare. It is shaped by the homes we live in, the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the resources available in our neighborhoods.

Join Associated Black Charities for our June Community Convos as we explore the connection between environmental justice, healthy communities, and quality of life. Together, we'll discuss issues such as aging housing, lead exposure, food insecurity, environmental hazards, and the challenges that continue to impact Black communities across Baltimore and Maryland.

Whether you're a resident, advocate, community leader, or simply someone who cares about creating stronger communities, your voice matters.

No registration required. Just show up.

Bring your resources. Bring your voice. Be part of the change.

Hiring Black Talent Is Not Equity. Advancing Black Talent Is.

Organizations often celebrate diversity in recruitment, but what happens after Black professionals walk through the door?

Join Associated Black Charities for a powerful and timely webinar:

Equity At Work: Recruiting Black Talent, But Never Advancing It

📅 June 23, 2026
🕛 12:00 PM ET

This honest conversation will examine the barriers that continue to prevent Black professionals from advancing into leadership roles, including inequitable promotion practices, lack of sponsorship, unconscious bias, and exclusion from influential networks.

We'll discuss:
✨ Why representation alone isn't enough
✨ The hidden costs of stalled career growth
✨ How burnout and disengagement impact retention
✨ What leaders must do to create real pathways to advancement

Black professionals deserve more than a seat at the table—they deserve opportunities to lead, influence, and thrive.

Join us as we challenge organizations to move beyond performative diversity and build workplaces where equity is reflected not only in who gets hired, but in who gets promoted.

The Nonprofit System Isn't Broken by Accident—It's Broken by Design.

Baltimore's nonprofit sector is powered by passionate leaders doing critical work every day. Yet too many organizations are facing the same challenges: fragmented funding, duplicated services, compliance burdens, staffing shortages, and increasing demands with fewer resources.

The result? Burnout. Instability. Missed opportunities for collective impact.

Associated Black Charities believes it's time for a different approach.

Join us for:

Repairing the Nonprofit Market: A New ABC Framework
📅 June 10, 2026
🕛 12:00 PM ET

This special session will introduce ABC's new framework for strengthening the nonprofit ecosystem through collaboration, alignment, and long-term sustainability.

Together, we'll explore how to:
✔️ Reduce duplication and align around community needs
✔️ Strengthen organizational infrastructure and compliance
✔️ Reimagine fiscal sponsorship and shared services
✔️ Foster strategic partnerships, collaborations, and mergers
✔️ Engage funders as partners in building a healthier ecosystem

This isn't about competition. It's about coordination.

This isn't about organizational failure. It's about system repair.

And this isn't just a conversation. It's the beginning of a movement toward a stronger, more sustainable nonprofit sector.

If you know the current model isn't sustainable and you're ready to help build what's next, we invite you to join us.

💡 The system can be repaired. The work starts here.
