The Black Opportunity Fund was established to address the deep-seated issues of systemic racism that impact the Black community.

By providing financial support, the fund aims to foster success for Black students, faculty, and staff at the University of Washington. Your support is crucial in creating a more just and equitable institution. This includes scholarships, support for Black student organizations, community partnerships, and research grants focused on issues impacting Black communities in the Puget Sound region. Your investment in this fund can make a tangible difference.

The University of Washington is committed to confronting bias, transforming institutional policies, and accelerating systemic change. The Black Opportunity Fund is a vital part of these efforts. We invite you to join us by applying for funding if you are a member of the UW Tacoma community or by supporting the fund to help us continue this critical work. Together, we can create a safer, more equitable environment for all.
