The 1954 Project

The 1954 Project invests in visionary nonprofit leaders advancing educational equity for Black students and communities. We select Luminaries, to whom we award $1 million in catalytic funding along with leadership development and membership in a powerful network driving systemic change. Through their bold innovations and community-rooted solutions, these leaders create transformational impacts that benefit all.

LEAD Internship Program

The LEAD Internship Program is a 10-week experience that introduces college students to careers in philanthropy and social impact.
