Edmonton’s Black Community Fund

Edmonton’s Black Community Fund (EBCF) was set up to enhance the quality of life for the Black Community in the Greater Edmonton Area, with the hopes of building a future in which our community can thrive, grow and succeed.

In Feb 2021, Edmonton Community Foundation hosted a town hall meeting with leaders from several of Edmonton’s Black communities. Its purpose was to learn how the Foundation could play a role in providing long-term support. It was decided that establishing an endowment fund was the best approach to ensure community projects and issues would be addressed now and for generations to come.

In 2025, ECF achieved its matching goal for Black-Led and Serving Organizations raising a total of  $200,000. The resulting funds were distributed equally between the Edmonton’s Black Community Fund (EBCF) and the Africa Centre Fund.
