BoCF’s Admiral Earl White Legacy Endowment Fund
About the Fund
A CFAAC Nonprofit Agency Designated Fund established by the Blacks of the Chesapeake Foundation. Blacks of the Chesapeake Foundation, Inc. (BoCF) was established in 1984 as a “passion project,” to capture and preserve stories of the legacy of generations of African American watermen who helped build the Chesapeake Watershed’s maritime and seafood industries. Over time, our mission has evolved to include Environmental Justice (EJ) and Preservation of the waterways and climate-vulnerable communities that support this fast-vanishing way of life. This fund was created to grow future generations of Maritime professionals and enthusiasts; a 21st Century “army” of Environmental Champions committed to saving the places where we ALL Live, Work, Play, and Worship.
This designated fund was established during CFAAC's 25th Anniversary endowment initiative to help nonprofits create a lasting endowment for perpetual support of their mission. Your donation will help this nonprofit reach the $25,000 threshold required for endowment, allowing them to receive annual distributions to their operating budget in perpetuity. Please consider contributing to support their long-term sustainability.
