The Black Giving Circle Fund topic for 2024 is:

Black Boys and Mens Mental Health

This year, the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving is bringing awareness to the mental health of Black boys and men by partnering with the Beta Iota Boulé Foundation -- an organization that supports the African American community and individuals. 

Culturally informed, accessible mental health care for Black boys and men can help destigmatize treatment, nurture their well-being, and support their contributions to the social and economic vitality of the region. Our collaboration will bring light to a topic that is often overlooked. 

Visit the Black Giving Circle Fund homepage for more information.
