A Letter from the
National Board Chair Greetings NCNW Family: It is both a privilege and a profound responsibility to serve as chair of the board of the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) during a time when the leadership, advocacy, and resilience of Black women are more important than ever. Since our founding by Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune in 1935, NCNW has stood as a unifying force dedicated to advancing equity, opportunity, and justice for Black women, their families, and communities. That legacy continues to guide our work today. Over the past year, NCNW has strengthened its impact across the nation through initiatives that support economic empowerment, civic engagement, education, and community well-being. Under the visionary leadership of President and CEO, Rev. Shavon Arline-Bradley, and with the commitment of our board of directors, members, sections, volunteers, and partners, the organization continues to grow while remaining grounded in mission, accountability, and service. As board chair, I am especially proud of the strong governance and fiscal stewardship that position NCNW for long-term sustainability and expanded reach. Our responsibility is not only to lead in this moment, but to ensure that future generations inherit an organization that is even stronger, more innovative, and more impactful. The progress reflected in this report is made possible by the dedication of our nationwide sisterhood and the generosity of supporters who believe in the power of Black women to create lasting change. Your partnership fuels programs that uplift families, strengthen communities, and move our nation closer to its ideals. Dr. Bethune reminded us to “invest in the human soul,” and that wisdom continues to guide our path forward. Together, we will continue to direct our power intelligently toward a more just and equitable future. With gratitude and purpose,
Dr. A. Lois Keith

A Letter from the
President & CEO Dear NCNW Family: In 2023, I stood before you on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the 60th Anniversary of the March on Washington, in front of thousands, and I spoke of our deep, abiding commitment to progress. As sisters and as leaders, our organization has solidified its place at the seat of power. I am here to tell you that the current state of America requires a steadfast conviction from those who love this country enough to push for equity, justice, and truth. This is not a mission born of despair. It is a mission rooted in love. Love for our communities. Love for Black women. Love for a democracy that must be held accountable to its highest ideals. This report makes clear that the dedication of Black women does not lie dormant. It is transformed into disciplined action, guided by our Board of Directors, strengthened by our staff, and advanced by our Sections and members nationwide. That action lies in NCNW’s programs, advocacy, and outreach, where conviction becomes impact and purpose becomes progress. Last year, we launched the RISE program, expanding our commitment to equipping women with the tools, resources, and leadership development necessary to navigate and shape today’s social and economic landscape. RISE reflects our belief that empowerment must be structured, sustained, and scalable. We also advanced the Bethune-Height Changemakers Program, BHCP, a dynamic leadership pipeline for collegiate-aged Black women who are members of NCNW. Designed to position the next generation as public intellectuals and social change makers, BHCP embodies our investment in leadership that is informed, courageous, and transformative. Across our Four Pillars—health equity, education equity, economic empowerment, and social justice—we have moved beyond rhetoric and into results. Through strategic advocacy, grassroots mobilization, and community partnership, we continue to demonstrate that when Black women lead, communities rise. As you read this annual report, I invite you to see not only the milestones achieved, but the movement strengthened. What you hold in your hands is evidence of collective power in motion. With faith and resolve,
,
Rev. Shavon L. Arline-Bradley

OUR PROGRAMS
Building the Infrastructure for Generational Impact A Year of Proving What’s Possible
What sets NCNW apart is not just the breadth of our programs, it’s the depth of our community trust, the sophistication of our infrastructure, and the proven track record of results. We don’t parachute into communities with one-size-fits-all solutions. We empower local leaders with resources, training, and support to address the specific needs of their communities.
The 2024-25 fiscal year was steered based on strategic piloting, community validation, and infrastructure building. Across five signature programs spanning economic empowerment, health equity, career development, food security, and oral health, NCNW demonstrated that when trusted community leadership meets targeted investment, transformation happens at scale.
RISE equipped Black women and their families with the tools to close wealth gaps, build generational assets, and navigate financial systems designed without them in mind. From credit repair to homeownership preparation to retirement planning, RISE participants are rewriting their financial futures and teaching their communities to do the same.
RISE – Resources for Investment, Savings, and Economic Empowerment • 27 pilot sections across 25 states • 314 cohort participants completed intensive 6-week financial literacy training • 1,108 webinar registrations with 742 unique viewers • 90%+ satisfaction rate with 80-98% knowledge improvement across all sessions • 70-72% of participants reported confidence to implement new financial practices

NOURISH – Food Security Initiative
ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025
In the summer of 2025, NCNW launched the NOURISH pilot, a mini-grant program powered by Amazon, to address food insecurity in African American communities. The response was exciting: over 75 sections applied for mini grants, with nearly half the sections already conducting food insecurity work independently in their communities. This groundswell of interest revealed a critical insight: NCNW sections do not wait to be activated, they activate themselves. Across the country, sections have independently forged partnerships with local food banks, resource centers, and community organizations, addressing hunger and food access on the front lines long before formal programming existed. The NOURISH pilot didn’t create this work; it amplified and resourced what sections were already doing with passion and purpose. Three sections - Seattle Section (Washington), Greater Pocono Region Section (Pennsylvania), and Mississippi Section - received $500 grants to implement locally driven food security solutions across multiple communities and address rural food access challenges.
Together, these pilot sections:
▪ Served 300+ individuals directly, including children, families, college students, seniors, and unhoused community members
▪ Provided 330+ meals or equivalent food assistance ▪ Distributed fresh meals, canned goods, produce, pantry staples, and healthy snacks
▪ Conducted SNAP education and outreach ▪ Created 7+ new community partnerships with food pantries, universities, nonprofits, and faith-based organizations
▪ Engaged 80+ NCNW volunteers as frontline advocates and educators

The Good Health Wins (GHWINs) initiative is more than a public health program; it is a promise kept to our communities. Our purpose is clear: to build a network of national and local partners who believe that timely immunizations are a fundamental right and a shield against preventable disease. By combining rigorous research on vaccination views within the Black community with boots-on-the-ground activism, we are not just sharing information—we are saving lives.
The Strength of 3 Million: Our Network and Reach
State-Level Activations
When we speak, the nation listens. GHWINs leverages the massive, multigenerational footprint of the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) and its 38 national affiliate organizations to mobilize a network of over 3 million people.
▪
National Presence: In the 2024-2025 fiscal year, our influence extended across 10,872 unique zip codes.
▪
Deep Local Roots: Our advocates submitted 2,178 monthly reports, documenting a relentless pace of community service.
▪
Leading the Way: State-level activation was spearheaded by Texas (226 reports), Georgia (220 reports), California (213 reports), and Florida (201 reports), proving that our network is most vibrant where the need is greatest.
Strategy in Action: Education, Engagement, and Equity We believe that Good Health WINs begins with education. Our goal is to move beyond “outreach” to true “in-reach” placing trusted messengers at the tables where policy is made.
▪
Culturally Sensitive Education: We developed tailored toolkits and a dedicated micro-site to ensure our messages resonate specifically with communities that need it most.
▪
Trusted Messengers: Through our CoP 103 Certification Program, we trained 1,853 new messengers this year, equipping them to counter misinformation with empathy and facts.
▪
Massive Information Distribution: We reached 868,995 people through digital tools and distributed over 500,000 educational flyers directly into the hands of neighbors and friends.

OUR ADVOCACY
Mary McLeod Bethune and Dorothy Irene Height infused NCNW with the vital ability to challenge lawmakers and influence positions on issues that affect Black women. In 2025, NCNW continued that legacy through the Purple Power Policy Summit, a legislative mobilization that brought members to Washington, D.C., for the first time to conduct direct “Hill Visits” within congressional offices. This momentum extended into the digital space with BethuneTech Talks, a dynamic innovation platform using quarterly discussions to empower Black women at the intersection of technology policy and digital equity. During the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference, the organization hosted The Bethune Briefing to examine the policy failures, cultural norms, and institutional barriers fueling economic injustice while centering actionable solutions like legislative reform and investment in Black women-owned businesses. Finally, the Purple Power Happy Hour provided a strategic networking space for advocates and policymakers to connect and strengthen the movement.

OUR BUILDING
The Dorothy I. Height Building at 633 Pennsylvania Avenue stands as a towering architectural manifesto of the Black woman’s entrepreneurial spirit. By leveraging the equity of their first home to secure this Renaissance Revival landmark, NCNW moved the Black female agenda from the shadows of history to the corridor of absolute power. Positioned strategically between the White House and the U.S. Capitol, the building is ultimate proof, for Black women, entrepreneurship is not merely about commerce; it is the tactical acquisition to ensure our voices are never again sidelined.
