where Black communities aren’t just surviving, but thriving. Picture neighborhoods where Black children, families, schools, organizations, and businesses are deeply connected to one another, where resources are shared equitably, and where everyone has the opportunity to lead and make decisions that create a better future for all. That's the world Community Engagement Partners (CEP) is working towards.
You know that feeling when you're a part of something bigger than yourself? That's what CEP is all about. We're helping funders and investors build powerful partnerships with innovative leaders in Black communities across the country. By doing so, we're building a web of support that leads to stronger networks, greater resource equity, and partnerships that benefit everyone. Together, we're creating Black communities that are not just surviving, but thriving.
We support donors and doers who want to make a difference in Black communities. We connect donors and social impact investors with our network of Black community innovators, activate locally-led innovation through our community co-creation program, and CEP is there every step of the way, holding space for our partners to come together and take collective action.
By bringing funders and investors together with Black community innovators, we're building stronger networks, greater resource equity, and powerful, mutually beneficial partnerships. And it's these connections that lead to real, lasting change.
Supporting Community Engagement Partners (CEP) is a no-brainer. We're experts at building partnerships between funders, investors, and Black community innovators that lead to long-term, sustainable impact. And let's not forget, the moral and economic case for building power partnerships is clear. By partnering with CEP, you're making a smart investment in the future.
