ABOUT US
The National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc. (NCBW) was founded in New York City by a group of dedicated African American women committed to advocating for the rights and well-being of Black women and girls in their communities.
The Birmingham Metropolitan Chapter traces its roots back to 1982, originally established as The Jefferson County Chapter by Mrs. Minnie G. Gaston. It was officially incorporated in the State of Alabama in 1989. As one of the original 25 chapters that helped organize the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, our chapter remains steadfast in its mission to empower, uplift, and create opportunities for Black women and girls. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to advocacy, leadership development, and community engagement.
OUR COMMUNITY IMPACT
Through our advocacy, programs, and partnerships, we strive to uplift, inspire, and create lasting change for Black women, girls, and the broader community. Our initiatives foster leadership, economic growth, and social progress, ensuring a more equitable future for generations to come.
