Mission

Black Liberation Fund provides comprehensive support services to individuals harmed by the criminal justice system and survivors of violence through technology-enabled resources, education, and community engagement. The organization operates a community bail fund, reentry support services, and trauma-informed wellness programs serving substance abuse survivors, sexual assault survivors, domestic violence survivors, gun violence survivors, and formerly incarcerated individuals. Beginning in fiscal year 2025-2026, the organization transitioned to a digital-first service delivery model providing free access to legal resources (parole, pardon, expungement), recovery and trauma support, and educational technology empowerment workshops focused on resume development, digital literacy, and artificial intelligence tools.
