In partnership with the United Way and Black Empowerment Works, bi3 launched the bi3 Health Equity Fund in 2022 with a three-year $1,000,000 grant to drive equitable health outcomes through Black-led grantees. The initiative leans into Black-led grassroots organizations with lived experience to pilot solutions to address health disparities.
Executive Director of the Preston Brown Foundation, Patrice McDowell-Brown, shared how the $40,000 bi3 grant enabled them to offer Youth Mental Health First Aid training and address mental health stigma among youth through arts-based therapy, self-care activities, and field trips.
