BNCEP is a community of Black nonprofit chief executives and leaders across Greater Philadelphia — who learn with one another and drive the work that matters most to our region. Through our convenings and programs, we bridge resources, open doors, amplify expertise, and create space for the kind of candid exchange that sharpens our collective practice. In doing so, we build something more durable — a body of leaders deeply invested in each other’s growth and in the long-term health of this region. That investment shows up across Greater Philadelphia, in nonprofits that are stronger, more connected, and better positioned to create lasting change.
BNCEP’s mission is to cultivate a viable community of Black nonprofit leaders and Black-led organizations, and increase the level of support they receive from the philanthropic community.
BNCEP envisions a nonprofit community where Black leaders are trusted, sought out as experts, and receive equitable funding.
