The Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa is committed to building the capacity of and amplifying the voices of Black, Indigenous, and/or People of Color (BIPOC) led nonprofits. These organizations have an important role in providing services and giving voice to those in our community most impacted by systemic racism.

BIPOC stands for Black, Indigenous, and people of color. Pronounced “bye-pock,” this is a term specific to the United States, intended to center the experiences of Black and Indigenous groups and demonstrate solidarity between communities of color.
