Bay Area Blacks In Philanthropy (BABIP)


BABIP Mission

Bay Area Blacks in Philanthropy (BABIP) is a regional, nonprofit membership organization whose mission is to advance the interests of African Americans in philanthropy and address the impact of racial disparity within philanthropic institutions and African American communities in the San Francisco Bay Area. Bringing together foundation professionals – trustees, program officers, administrative and technical staff – with corporate, governmental, and association representatives, BABIP members are a strong leadership core within the sector, and individually and collectively, and add a needed black perspective to philanthropic discourse and debate.
