The Black Executive Director's Network (BLK ED Network) is a national membership-based community designed to address the systemic issues and inequities faced by Black Executive Directors in the nonprofit sector by equipping them with resources to thrive in their leadership roles.

Our vision is to narrow the racial leadership gap, ultimately driving inclusion, diversity, and solution-based models to eliminate cultural biases, and reshaping the philanthropic landscape.

Our mission is to empower Black Executive Directors as they navigate the systemic challenges in the nonprofit sector by providing access to the community, capital, and equitable development growth opportunities.
