MAKING OUR COMMUNITY BETTER

YESTERDAY,

From its very beginning 1n 1969 44 years ago, the United Black Fund, Inc. worked to HELP PEOPLE HELP THEMSELVES.  Organized by everyday people, and led by two extraordinary community leaders, Dr. Calvin and Wilhelmina Rolark, UBF pioneered community based efforts to improve the lives of Blacks and impoverished people in the Washington DC Area.

TODAY,

UBF showcases Family focused initiatives that provide parents with tools for raising children; that encourage neighborhood education and recreation activity to guide and direct youth; that serve critical needs of special populations; and that promote community based problem solving.
