Mission
The Organization's mission is to create a radical future for Black Minnesotans by advancing Black-Centered policies and solutions that actualize true liberation.
Program accomplishments
- Discourse, Design & Innovation: One of the biggest achievements of the work that has come out of the discourse, design, and innovation workstream was the launch and kickoff of Northside Forward, a comprehensive community development plan. It is what it looks like when development is not extraction, but restoration. In the heart of Minneapolis's Black community, The Forum convened over 150 Northside residents, elders, youth, visionaries, and builders to dream together and design what's next. The result: architectural renderings that reflect not just buildings, but belonging These are spaces imaged to hold joy, commerce, healing, and cultural pride. With aligned investment and policy partners now at the talbe, we are laying the foundation for a radically different model; one where Black communities shape the blueprint, own the assets, and define prosperity on their own terms.Expenses $923,417 · grants $8,909 · revenue $134,607
- Research & Policy: In policy and research a major achievement was launching and having a full slate of the Policy Entrepreneur fellowship role on staff. This position cultivates the next generation of Black policy visionaries, leaders who speak from lived experience and move with strategy, precision, and boldness. These fellows were at the center of some of The Forum's most catalytic work: co-authoring publications now informing state proposals, leading testimony that challenged entrenched narratives, and shaping forums that birthed real-time legislative models. More than policy training, this fellowship is about shifting power, placing Black brilliance at the helm of systems redesign. It's how we ensure that public policy is not just about us, but authored by us.Expenses $701,040 · grants $1,025
- Leadership Development: The Josie R. Johnson Leadership Academy has been a living tribute to Black legacy and a forge for our future. It cultivates powerful, values-driven Black leaders who carry the vision, skills, and strategic clarity to reimagine systems and lead with integrity. The Academy experienced unprecedented momentum with a 24% rise in applicants and the strongest interest from emerging leaders between ages 25-44. These changemakers, rooted in education, entrepreneurship, and public service, engaged in a liberatory leadership journey that centered cultural knowledge, policy fluency and collective care. JRJLA is more than a program, it's a movement-building force, shaping the next generation of Black architects, organizers, and decision-makers.Expenses $466,098 · grants $44,500
