About the California Black Women’s Collective Empowerment Institute The California Black Women’s Collective Empowerment Institute (CABWCEI) is a leading statewide 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the social, political, and economic power of Black women and girls. Founded to fill a historic gap in research, policy advocacy, and leadership development, the Institute is home to the first and only policy think tank in the nation that exclusively focuses on the lived experiences of Black women and girls. Through groundbreaking research, dynamic programming, and intentional partnerships, CABWCEI works to dismantle systemic barriers while building pathways to prosperity and equity. From workforce development and leadership training to community engagement and policy change, the Institute serves as both a catalyst for transformation and a trusted convener of voices that too often go unheard. Since its inception, the Institute has: • Trained and empowered thousands of Black women and girls across California in leadership, advocacy, and economic mobility. • Published research reports capturing the truth of Black women’s experiences and grounding advocacy in data and lived expertise.
• Invested in grassroots organizations and initiatives that uplift communities across the state. • Honored and celebrated the brilliance and contributions of Black women trailblazers who are shaping California’s history. Our mission is clear: to ensure that Black women and girls not only survive, but thrive— fully seen, fully valued, and fully supported.
