https://www.blackartfutures.org/ Founded by DéLana R.A. Dameron, “BAFF (is) a small operation in the philanthropic community. It gave out just $21,000 to six grantees in 2019. It also operates small itself, with around four board members and an all-volunteer staff. But that might be appropriate since its mission is to help small organizations. The average budget of grantees in 2019 was $168,000. While its focus will always be on small grantees, Dameron hopes to grow BAFF as an organization. She is building networks of donors and supporters and knows that if BAFF can eventually hire a development staff, it can raise more money for grantees.” - Grantmakers in the Arts (Oct 16, 2019)
