The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Inc. (CBCF) was established in 1976 as a nonpartisan, nonprofit, public policy, research and education institute to help improve the socioeconomic circumstances of African Americans and other under served communities. We envision a world in which the black community is free of all disparities and able to contribute fully to advancing the common good. Our mission is to advance the global black community by developing leaders, informing policy and educating the public.

All CBCF and CBC Spouses programs are supported by fundraising events and the generous support of our corporate partners. Each year, CBCF sponsors the Annual Legislative Conference (ALC), which provides a national forum to develop strategies and viable solutions to public policy issues facing Black America. Our leadership education programs provide unparallel fellowship and internship opportunities on Capitol Hill to dozens of young people every year.
