Our Cause
The NAACP Foundation, a 501(c)(3) entity, supports our civil rights and social justice work by raising funds and promoting philanthropy. Our mission is to achieve equity, political rights, and social inclusion by advancing policies and practices that expand human and civil rights, eliminate discrimination, and accelerate the well-being, education, and economic security of Black people and all persons of color. We envision an inclusive community rooted in liberation where all persons can exercise their civil and human rights without discrimination.
Our Impact
To make our vision a reality, we will:
- Ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of all citizens
- Achieve equality of rights and eliminate race prejudice among the citizens of the United States
- Remove all barriers of racial discrimination through democratic processes
- Seek enactment and enforcement of federal, state, and local laws securing civil rights
- Inform the public of the adverse effects of racial discrimination and to seek its elimination
- Educate everyone on their constitutional rights and take all lawful action to secure the exercise of those rights, and to take any other lawful action in furtherance of these objectives, consistent with the NAACP’s Articles of Incorporation and the NAACP Constitution
