The Foundation for Black Heritage & Culture

The Foundation for Black Heritage and Culture is a Black-founded and led nonprofit organization committed to preserving, uplifting, and advancing the vibrant legacy of African American culture. Anchored in three core pillars — Education, Health Equity, and Community — the Foundation exists to create access, build opportunity, and inspire pride across generations.

We serve Black individuals and families throughout Greater Houston, with a specific focus on underserved communities disproportionately affected by food insecurity, health disparities, and social.isolation. Cultural arts play a vital role in our work, allowing us to celebrate Black creativity, expression, and legacy through events like Black Heritage Fest and other arts-centered programming.

Our work is rooted in the belief that by addressing the root causes of these systemic issues — and amplifying the power within o.ur communities — we can create sustainable pathways toward healing, growth, and generational success.

At our core, we are builders: of community, culture, and collective legacy. Whether through neighborhood health fairs, cultural festivals, or year-round youth support, we design every initiative to reflect the fullness of Black life — past, present, and future.
