About Giving F.O.R.W.A.R.D. (For Our Rights, Wellness, Advocacy, Resources & Descendants)
Since 1994, California Black Women’s Health Project (CABWHP) has been committed to improving the health and well-being of Black women and girls across California through advocacy, education, policy, and outreach. For more than three decades, we have worked alongside our communities and partners to address health disparities, promote wellness, and advocate for policies and practices that support the physical, spiritual, mental and emotional well-being of Black women, girls, families and communities.
Today, we are building on that legacy through The Giving F.O.R.W.A.R.D. (For Our Rights, Wellness, Advocacy, Resources & Descendants) Collective, a community of supporters committed to advancing this work for generations to come.
The reality is that persistent disparities in funding for Black women-led organizations leave CABWHP responding to significant and growing community needs with far fewer resources than are required to meet them. We are being asked to do considerably more with considerably less, while the need for support, advocacy and representation continues to grow.
With your support, we can connect more people to resources, strengthen our advocacy, and continue building healthier communities for Black women, girls, families, and communities across California.
Your investment in The Giving F.O.R.W.A.R.D. Collective helps carry this work into its next chapter, building on what we have accomplished since 1994 and creating a stronger future for generations to come.

As we navigate a rapidly changing world, our communities continue to face challenges that impact our health, wellness and ability to thrive. From the lasting effects of the COVID-19 pandemic to ongoing health disparities, economic pressures and inequities within the systems that shape our lives, the need for meaningful support and advocacy remains. CABWHP continues to listen, respond and work alongside our communities to address these challenges and build healthier, more equitable futures for Black women, girls, families and communities.
