NCNW NATIONAL CHAIR
Dear NCNW Family -
It is with great pleasure to present you the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) 2023-2024 annual report. This annual report shows our success for this fiscal year and our continued journey toward meeting the mission of our organization.
It is an honor to serve as the chair of the board of directors. We take pride in our legacy and recognize the tremendous strength in our name and our work. As we are coming off of our 88th year since our founding, we know we are fortunate to have a historically relevant past that has positioned us for a promising future.
Thanks to the efforts of NCNW national headquarters staff, we have been able to improve our member services and maintain our financial strength. We have a highly skilled team of leaders who are committed to service and dedicated to advancing social justice and civil rights for Black women, their families and communities.
The financial stability and strength of the community of NCNW provides peace of mind to our members, associates, affiliates, partners, and sponsors, and I hope, to you.
Thank you for your continued support.
PRESIDENT & CEO
Dear NCNW Family -
When I was asked to take the helm of the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW), I never thought that I would lead an organization that would be the backbone of my community and a nation. With this assignment, we ushered in a “New Era” for which NCNW would be dedicated to impact. As a result, the concept of MARS - Mobilizing People, Advancing Policy, Revitalizing Programming, and Solidifying Infrastructure – was introduced to meet the challenges of our future.
The mission was never more critical, and our ability to deliver on it was never more tested than a time such as this. This is how we know that the strength of NCNW lies in our membership – the ability to maintain, as well as grow it. Whether it be through our collegiate and community-based sections, our affiliates, and our associates, we must always be prepared to collectively meet the challenges ahead for the betterment of our families and communities. We are excited about our growth and understand we can never be complacent.
NCNW has always been at the forefront of ensuring policies are in place to advance women of African descent, their families and communities. In the 21st century, ent is a bit awkward. I suggest reworking: Black women will continue to advocate for a more perfect union and enhance our ability to thrive in this country. Our founder, Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune, and our longest serving president, Dr. Dororthy I. Height, were instrumental in their pursuit of justice. Honoring their commitment,
collectively, NCNW will leverage our power and voice to influence social change.
Service is the debt we pay for being on this earth It was important to revitalize an impactful program framework through anchor programs such as Good Health WINs and a new leadership program, the Bethune-Height Changemakers Program (BHCP), for collegiate young women. Preparation and growth in these areas allow Black women to participate in an economy that provides free enterprise while shaping their own future for generations to come.
It is imperative that we protect all our assets as well as our human capital to have the ability to meet the challenges ahead. The intentional investments in infrastructure helped to ensure that our operations worked efficiently and effectively, With these investments in a year, I am pleased to report that our revenue increased approximately 7%, while we cut nonessential expenses and improved employee productivity with our new hires.
In closing, I say thank you to the executive committee, board of directors, staff, members, affiliates, associates, partners, donors, and sponsors for your dedication to the continued success of NCNW, as we will ultimately serve as a catalyst to finish this race toward freedom, liberty, and justice for all.
Sincerely,

Mobilize People — Our Audience
The National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) is built on the “Bethune Doctrine” of being the most organized body too large to fail and is based on the values of integrity and accountability; justice, equity, and fairness, historical reverence; empowerment and engagement, and stakeholder experience. It was the vision of Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune to form an organization to bring together Black women organizations that would pool their interests to provide collective pressure where change was needed. This was radical thought then for Black women to have collective power. She fixed on forming a power group that would systematically transform the economic and political base of Black women in the United States and around the world. This power group included Black women from every socio-economic background with the common thread of Blackness, how we learned, earned, and survived in the world.
NCNW is an “organization of organizations,” comprised of over 370 campus and community-based sections and 37 national women’s organizations that enlightens, inspires, and connects more than 2,000,000 women and men. The mission is why our organization exists and the commitment to our members is why we continue to thrive. This has allowed us to
deepen our relations with existing members, as well as attract new ones. It is vital to our future that we look for new ways to reach a greater number of people. Our members share our unwavering commitment to sustainability and empowerment. They understand that we always champion socio- and economic advancement and self-fulfillment.
For this fiscal year, the NCNW agenda was advanced by our ambassadors including our board of directors, staff, members, and affiliates. Because of this we were able to add nine new collegiate and 12 community sections in the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Texas. The state of Maryland was officially organized. Since the start of the fiscal year membership rose by approximately a 4.3% increase. As a result of increased membership, individual donors increased.
We continued to strengthen relationships with our affiliates. Our affiliates are organizations that collectively allow us to leverage our power to achieve the mission, while remaining true to our commitment, unity, and self-reliance.

Advance Policy — Our Position
NCNW has revitalized our advocacy and policy efforts. Our organization has reclaimed our rightful place as a relevant institution for social justice. We have maintained the longheld principles that have made us a center of influence in our community. NCNW is actively working to raise awareness as it pertains to pressing community issues on a grassroots level that may have cause and effect for Black women, their families and communities. Our long-standing partnerships with civil rights organizations and community built a coalition that allows us increase visibility of our policy agenda.
We are grateful that we were able to continue to collaborate with the Biden/Harris Administration to enrich the lives of women of African descent. This has been a long-standing charge of our organization, as it has worked with all presidential administrations no matter party. For this administration, priority policies such as historic criminal justice reform, executive orders protecting bodily autonomy, and the historic confirmation of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court and other federal judges of diverse backgrounds demonstrate our alignment with President Biden’s leadership and commitment to equity and social justice.
One of the core four priorities for NCNW is economic justice. Each day we stand with women advocating for equal pay, as all women deserve equal pay for equal work. The NCNW Advocacy & Policy team visited the Maryland State House to advocate for Equal Pay Day. NCNW also joined the Divine 9 and Black Women’s Leadership Organizations to sign a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) to collaborate on advancing the growth of women business enterprises.
NCNW urged Congress to pass the Affordable Connectivity Program Extension Act. The Extension Act is the stop gap solution needed to keep marginalized communities connected while allowing lawmakers to further discuss sustainable long-term funding solutions for affordable internet. We are committed to working with policymakers and stakeholders that bridge the digital divide and empower all Americans to participate fully in the 21stcentury economy.
Before we dive deep into our policy work, NCNW makes sure the electorate is educated on the issues. This was done through the Women Vote National Town Hall, which aimed to highlight Gen Z voices in the general election. NCNW in partnership with the YWCA provided a nonpartisan forum for the diverse, impactful opinions of young women, girls, and nonbinary young people to influence national discourse and shape effective policy solutions as the nation approached the 2024 Presidential Election. NCNW youth representative Alicia Wicks shared her thoughts and expectations for the next presidential administration.
NCNW joined the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation (CBCF) at the Annual Legislative Conference for a day of service at Franklin Park in Washington, D.C. where the NCNW Advocacy and Policy team and other staff were on-site to register unhoused individuals to vote. In addition, NCNW hosted a critical panel discussion titled
“The Impact of Project 2025 on Black Women.” Panelists shared their insightful discussion on the impact of Project 2025 on Black women, addressing key issues such as reproductive rights, attacks on DEI, healthcare access and affordability, education, and voting rights. Emphasis was placed on the critical importance of voting in the 2024 election to prevent regression and honor the rights our ancestors fought to secure.
We always seek to be the convener of our collective agency to make sure the power of the vote is utilized to put Black women into office or to vote out those against anti-racism work and policy. We contributed to policy changes, as we were able to train 5069 members on issues such as voting rights, equal pay, DEI, and violence against women, to be able to move the needle through active advocacy work. Our work produced the Civics in Color, #PurpleDays on the District, #PurplePower Policy Summit and the Eight-State/All-State Policy Summit.
To kick off the election season NCNW was proud to collaborate with the Council on their Civics in Color webinar series, exploring the powerful impact of local government in Black communities. In this four-part webinar series, participants discovered the power and importance of local government in shaping everyday life. Civics in Color breaks down the roles and responsibilities of local government entities, to equip you with knowledge and actions you can take to positively influence the decisions that are made in your community.
In addition, #PurpleDays in the District, NCNW Sections met with their state legislatures to advance policies that are of importance to women of African descent. Many states such as California, Georgia, and Pennsyvania, to name a few, demonstrated NCNW members’ awareness and them being equipped to move toward action, while advocating for change in public policy. NCNW HQ staff traveled to Sacramento to assist with kicking off the NCNW
California Coalition’s inaugural California Day at the State Capitol! The team met with CA Secretary of State Dr. Shirley N. Weber to discuss Black women in leadership, voting rights, and reparations.
NCNW held its inaugural policy summit - #PurplePower Policy Summit. This virtual event was a four-part training series that focused on our advocacy and policy work, the Eight State/All State Strategy, and policy issues germane to the organization’s core four issue areas –healthcare, education, economic empowerment, and social justice.
The Policy Summit drew the interest of over 8,000 registered guests with over 1,200 attendees participating each night. Over 20 speakers served as expert panelists and special guests. The Summit kicked off with an evening focused on healthcare, what Black voters are thinking, Advocacy 101 and the Eight-State All-States strategy.
The Eight-State/All State Strategy initiative was launched on Aug. 15, 2024. This initiative was dedicated to registering and getting voters to the polls for the Nov. 5, 2024 general election. Designed to significantly increase voter turnout, specifically among Black women and young voters, ages 17-24, the initiative was hyper-local.
This strategy focused on activating and mobilizing NCNW members, Sections, Affiliates, and Associates across the country in select cities and towns, designated areas, ensuring the numbers of voters had increased since the last presidential election in 2020.
The initiative started out with eight battleground states (Florida, Georgia, Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Michigan), and was replicated in all 10 states where there are NCNW sections, to include California, Colorado, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Texas.
For ages 17-24, the initiative yielded over 1,900 total registered voters from nine states, plus Washington, DC, in specific, identified areas. Additionally, 2,137 Black women were registered across these designated areas. In total, 100, 000 received voter education, 68,000 attended associated in person events and 32,000 virtually. We partnered with Lyft to provide rides to the polls for voters around the country.
Faith is the first factor in a life devoted to service. Without it, nothing is possible. With it, nothing is impossible. Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune “
Revitalize Programming — Our Service
Our success partially comes from a unique culture underpinned by our passionate commitment to service. This strong dedication to service ensures we are responsive to challenges that Black women, their families and communities, face. NCNW remains dedicated to uplifting communities through our “Core Four” - education; healthcare; economics, and social justice - that make significant impact through outcomes, while changing national conversations and ultimately behaviors. This fiscal year NCNW was able to continue to make strides with programs as established Good Health WINs and as the newly introduced Bethune-Height Changemaker Pathways (BHCP) program. The success of these programs was based on the approach of streamlining program priorities that allowed an increase in impact that is proven and sustainable, while reducing output driven program opportunities.
Good Health WINs, in its fifth year, promotes taking collective action to reduce vaccine hesitancy and improve vaccination rates. NCNW, its Sections, Affiliates, Associates, and partnering organizations are trusted sources who serve as trusted messengers who share the vision and understand the importance of immunizations and good health.
NCNW is tackling health equity issues head-on through our health equity programs and initiatives that are rooted in Community of Practice. Community of Practice is used to educate members and affiliates on all priority topics and bring reliable, accurate information into the community. Our health equity goal is to improve access to healthcare, increase knowledge, and reduce stigma. As a result, NCNW is recognized as a trusted source for health information to encourage healthy environments which lead to healthy women, children, families, and ultimately communities. Through change labs and certifying trusted leaders, Good Health WINs continues to increase immunizations among communities of color, closing the vaccination gap for Black and African Americans.
The program, dedicated to educating, advocating and impacting families and communities across the United States to both end the pandemic, address health disparities, and shine the light on the importance of good health, had the following impactful results:
BHCP is a new programmatic response to the systemic barriers and inequities that continue to stifle Black women in the workplace. The first pathway in the program was the Collegiate Career Accelerator, supported by Target®. It served as proof of concept, ultimately informing the design and development of future BHCP programs, each with a distinct focus and approach to cultivating changemakers.
The Collegiate Career Accelerator focused on professional development in the form of “Change Labs,” community, which provides access to Black women for inspiration, motivation, and support, and lastly, funding, where participants received a $5K stipend to support the advancement of their professional journey. Ten change labs, two virtual conferences on social justice and adulting, and two in-person touchpoints for the participants, were held. The program started August 2024 and continued for 12 months.
The value of learning professional skills and networking is being realized by college age women through BHCP. This inaugural cohort had over 200 applications, for which 20 students were chosen. Eight out of 10 participants (80%) attended an Historically Black College and University (HBCU). Seven out of 10 participants (70%) are first-generation college students, embodying the transformative power of education in creating generational
change. Additionally, our cohort includes two first-generation Americans, highlighting the program’s role in supporting immigrant families’ aspirations for professional advancement. The young ladies who participated have overcome significant socioeconomic challenges. Thirty percent have experienced poverty, and multiple participants have navigated challenges including homelessness, disability, and having an incarcerated parent.
We African American Women seldom do just what we want to do, but always what we have to do.
I am grateful to have been in a time and place where I could be a part of what was needed.
Dr. Dorothy Irene Height
Solidify Infrastructure — Our Foundation
To properly support our programs, expand our work, and tell the NCNW story, we need to be fully staffed in all departments - Programs, Advocacy & Policy, Communications, and Development. These four departments are at the core of NCNW and are critical to expanding our infrastructure. Strategic investments in these departments allowed NCNW to rapidly scale our organizational infrastructure resulting in increased impact in our focus areas. Our team has a great appreciation of civil rights work and is purposeful in the work we do. A strong understanding of community is key. NCNW is building a strong staff at 35 to date, with 16 hires in this fiscal year.
The historic Dorothy I. Height Building has been the home of NCNW for over 30 years. The organization became the first Black organization to have its headquarters on Pennsylvania Avenue, which is the prestigious address between the White House and the U.S. Capitol. While the building has gracefully weathered the passage of time, this location houses the growing operations and activities of the NCNW headquarters team, as well as other organizations who lease office space. To date, we have seven tenants.
NEW BRAND MARK
We are so excited to announce the release of our new official NCNW mark. This signifies a pivotal moment for NCNW as we embrace a refreshed identity that reflects our mission and vision for the future. Our logo represents our history of strong women bringing people and causes together. We are conveners. As such, our logo pins our brand together with its strong characters and its dynamic nature.
COMMUNICATIONS
Whether it is individual membership or affiliates, we seek to continue to grow through our communications efforts. Our website, social media, and traditional media channels -- these mediums are used to reach those who know about NCNW and those who do not alike, with a goal of converting them into members. Our reach has grown exponentially due to our messaging being able to reach
the totality of the Black woman – mind, body, spirit, and finances! Through social media platforms 4.9 million people have seen our posts, up 118% from the previous year, where we reached 2.2 million people. Our traditional media coverage reached 10 countries and six continents.
Our Financials
While a 501(c)(3) organization, NCNW is funded through the grants, investments, assets, and thoughtful engagement of partners who share the NCNW vision, mission commitment. We review and strengthen existing relationships and strategically cultivate and recruit others who seek to maximize opportunities for success. This financial report highlights expanded investment in our programs and policy work, innovative funding strategies, and ongoing capacitybuilding in our core operations.
Annual Revenue
Programmatic Efficiency
We are most delighted to report that 39% of our budget is being used for Good Health WINs and other programs concentrating on our “Core Four.” This also reflects our diversity in revenue sources, coming in at a higher rate, because of the work we do. With an increase of individual and corporate donors, we have become less dependent on grants.
Our Donors
Our individual donors had a powerful impact on our growth this year. We saw a steady rise in President’s Circle supporters, advancing Dr. Johnnetta Betsch Cole’s innovative fundraising vision that empowers those most committed to the NCNW mission to pledge their annual support. The President’s Circle grew to 128 supporters and raised $171,811. This special group of donors is instrumental in advancing our mission and deepening engagement with our constituents.
Building on the strength of our individual supporters, our corporate partnerships also saw meaningful growth, with 60 new corporate donors supporting our cause. The NCNW Corporate Roundtable continued to serve successfully as a platform for mission-aligned engagement, allowing companies committed to the advancement of equity and advocacy to collaborate both with each other and with our leadership. Through the success of our special events, fundraisers, and program-driven sponsorship opportunities, we have been able to secure over $1.4 million in sponsorships all while solidifying our brand
Our Individual Donors
NCNW continues to expand its individual donor base, not only through membership and affiliates, but also through a growing number of supporters who are deeply passionate about advancing our mission. Those who are supporters of our President’s Circle have been denoted with an asterisk(*).
