For over 40 years, POISE Foundation has been serving the Black Community by making hundreds of grants to worthy organizations, providing thousands of scholarships to deserving Black students and acting as a philanthropic leader and resource in our community.

As POISE Foundation moves towards self-sufficiency, we must shift the balance of support for our programs and operations from institutional to individual gifts. Your contribution today will help sustain POISE for the next 40 years and beyond.

Your contribution will be promptly acknowledged with a thank you letter and tax receipt.

We appreciate any amount you choose to donate and your willingness to support POISE and the families and communities we serve through your gift.
