It’s Wednesday, January 6th, 2021, and as I write this call to action for philanthropists, foundations, and funders, my fingers are visibly shaking. I am a Black woman. Period. I share this because it cannot be separated from my experience and it will provide context to this statement.
I am also an executive director of a nonprofit organization, Nonprofit Prince George’s County ([link removed][UNIQID]) , a coalition of human services groups. This organization has been around for 25 years and was incorporated in 2001. I share this to show that our organization has a long history and is rooted in the community. We serve Prince George’s County, Maryland.
Let me share that our county is situated right outside of Washington, DC, and borders the nation’s capital. We are a “majority melanated” county, with our demographic makeup being 64-percent Black, 16-percent Latinx, and 14-percent white. Black and Brown people make up 80 percent of our population. We have higher rates of education, income, and homeownership in comparison to other areas with high concentrations of Black and Brown people. However, our county does not possess the wealth of our thriving neighboring counties like Montgomery County, Maryland and Arlington County, Virginia. What is more telling are the major disparities that still exist.
