Dates of Project: November 2012 through July 2014
Description: One reason the problems of black males in America have proved so pervasive and so persistent is the lack of effective social programs to address those problems. From November 2012 through July 2014, RWJF and a coalition of other funding partners brought together by the Open Society Foundations helped establish the Campaign for Black Male Achievement as an independent organization that identifies and supports a national network of leaders and institutions dedicated to improving the life outcomes of black men and boys.
In November 2014, RWJF and its funding partners continued its support of the campaign with a second, two-year grant.
