San Antonio Area African American Community Fund
Mission
To unite and inspire the San Antonio area to invest in a living legacy in support of the African American Community
Governed and administered by San Antonio community residents, the San Antonio African American Community Fund is dedicated to:
increasing community participation, charitable giving, and voluntarism
responding to the needs of the area African American community
Arts/CultureThe history and culture of a community can be remembered, preserved and shared with others through various forms of artistic expression that celebrate, inspire and enlighten. The fund will give consideration to programs and initiatives that present the uniqueness of African American arts, and promote and preserve the rich and diverse African American cultural traditions in an educational, informational, inclusive and entertaining manner.
Community Development
Building a community that encourages and fosters the acquisition of tangible assets, supports the principles of financial literacy and responsibility, and capitalizes on opportunities for economic development and revitalization, is germane to improving and sustaining our overall economic and social progress. The Fund will support programs that promote the economic fitness of the African American community, including the improvement and sustainability of economic progress and well-being. The Fund will also support community-based investment efforts designed to foster both economic opportunity and fiscal responsibility.
EducationAn educated community is a prerequisite for economic and social success. The Fund is committed to supporting programs that advance the value and importance of education, enlighten and engage African Americans in business, political and community sectors where they are typically underrepresented and foster and develop a diverse network of African American leaders in the San Antonio area.
HealthThe general health and well-being of the African American community is paramount to its perpetuity. The Fund will support programs that traverse the intervention continuum, including education and awareness, prevention and planning, and programs that provide access to holistic care, including both physical and mental health. The Fund is especially concerned with heart disease/stroke, diabetes, obesity, Sickle Cell Anemia, HIV/AIDS, Alzheimer’s disease, and other maladies and conditions that disproportionately affect the African American community.
Social/Human Services
The social well-being and the development of human capital are of great significance to the perpetuation of the African American community. The Fund is committed to supporting programs that address critical issues and concerns that significantly affect the African American community, such as poverty, access to care/resources, abuse/neglect, teen pregnancy and family preservation. The Fund will also support programs that celebrate, nurture and develop African American children, youth, adults and seniors.
