Black Legacy Fund Brilliance Circle

Celebrating our community philanthropists

To celebrate Black Legacy Fund’s 20th anniversary, we introduced the Brilliance Circle. With this effort, we thank committed donor partners and share how many community philanthropists support the fund.

Make your commitment known

Two steps to join the Brilliance Circle

  1. 1 Share your interest

    Let the Community Foundation know you are interested in joining the Brilliance Circle. Message Jenine Torres to share your information, or to accept your membership if your previous giving means you already qualify.

  2. 2 Make a gift

    Donor partners qualify for membership by giving $1,000 all time or by giving for five consecutive years at any amount. Make a gift online now, or contact our staff to explore other ways to give.

"One of the things we've seen over the years is that the Community Foundation is not just standing still. It is moving forward. The new generation of folks, there is something for them that the Community Foundation is beginning to offer.”
