ESTABLISHED IN 2008 AS AN INITIATIVE OF THE OPEN SOCIETY FOUNDATIONS, THE CAMPAIGN FOR BLACK MALE ACHIEVEMENT (CBMA) IS A NATIONAL MEMBERSHIP NETWORK THAT SEEKS TO ENSURE THE GROWTH, SUSTAINABILITY, AND IMPACT OF LEADERS AND ORGANIZATIONS COMMITTED TO IMPROVING THE LIFE OUTCOMES OF BLACK MEN AND BOYS.

Who the money went to

Grants this organization reported paying: Schedule I Part II of the Form 990, or the grants-paid list on the 990-PF. Open a year for every recipient. Recipients link to their own page when the grant names an EIN we have (990-PF grants list no EIN, so those link only on an exact, unique name and state). Grants to individuals are counted; their names are not shown.

2018 · 25 grants to organizations · $216K

Listed grants add up to $216,330; the return's “grants paid” expense line says $192,291. Returns can differ here (grants paid vs. accrued, items listed elsewhere); check the filing.

2017 · 38 grants to organizations · $512K

Listed grants add up to $512,295; the return's “grants paid” expense line says $604,197. Returns can differ here (grants paid vs. accrued, items listed elsewhere); check the filing.

2016 · 20 grants to organizations · $625K

Negative amounts are returned or refunded grants; they are listed last and left out of the totals of grants paid.

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Funders of this organization

22 grantors reported grants to this organization, $11,133,720 in all, tax years 2015 to 2020. Exact: the grantor wrote this organization's EIN. Fuzzy: the grantor wrote only a name (foundations' 990-PF has no EIN field), matched to the same or a near-identical name in the same state; the name as filed is shown. From the latest return for each grantor and year, so amended returns aren't counted twice. CSV

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
