NFBPA Legacy Honors Program Fund Initiative

“Moving forward by removing barriers in front of us and reaching back to pull others forward.”

The Legacy Honors Initiative pays tribute and celebrates African American leaders who have distinguished themselves with their contributions to public service, equality, freedom, and civil rights. The Legacy Honors Initiative has a required minimum entry level of $1,000, with members receiving annual recognition at FORUM for new achievement levels. By supporting NFBPA through this cumulative giving initiative, donors are investing in the long-term solvency of the National Forum for Black Public Administration and continued excellence in local communities across the country.

Our GOAL: To build NFBPA’s current corpus in the Endowment fund, which stands at $250,000 to a goal of $500,000 in two years, and moving towards $1M in 10 years. The Legacy levels are as follows.

Center Leadership Development

Donating to the Executive Leadership Program (ELI) and the Mentor Program will support NFBPA’s ongoing efforts to groom the "next generation” of Black public managers.

The Executive Leadership Institute (ELI) is dedicated to grooming African American managers for the rigors of executive positions in public service organizations. This program is one of the few training Institutes in the United States that offers a curriculum mixed with both academic based theory and practitioner based experience through partnerships with universities and cities throughout the country over an eight-month period, in seven cities.

The Mentor Program is designed to positively impact the professional development of emerging public administrators. The program is an intensive, eight-month initiative with a two-fold focus. First, emphasis is placed on skills building, with specialized workshops offered during two group meetings. The second, and equally important, focus is embodied in informal interaction between mentors and protégés throughout the program period. Learn More
