The National Black Leadership Commission on AIDS, Inc. (NBLCA) is the oldest and largest non-profit organization of its kind in the United States. Our mission is to educate, mobilize, and empower black leaders to meet the challenge of fighting HIV/AIDS and other health disparities in their local communities. Working with a broad spectrum of community leaders, including clergy, public officials, medical practitioners, and those in business, civic, social policy, and the media, NBLCA achieves its mission through capacity-building training; technical assistance; education; policy and advocacy; screening, testing, and referrals; research and evaluation; resource development; and leadership development.
NBLCA has established affiliates in cities throughout the United States where African American communities are hardest hit by the HIV/AIDS epidemic, including New York City, Nassau County (LI, NY), Albany, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, Baltimore, Atlanta, Detroit, Tampa, and Washington, D.C.
NBLCA’s work is financially supported by contributions and grants from a range of sources: philanthropic foundations, corporations, government, individual donors, and proceeds from special fund-raising activities, including its signature event, the Choose Life Awards Benefit Reception. These funds are allocated across the nation to support the organization’s volunteer efforts.
