WELCOME
TO
NBLCA
The National Black Leadership
Commission on AIDS (NBLCA) was founded in November
1987. The NBLCA conducts policy, research and
advocacy on HIV and AIDS to ensure effective
participation of our leadership in all policy and
resource allocation decisions at the national, state and
local levels of communities of African descent
nationwide.
Since its inception, the NBLCA has served
thousands of organizations and institutions through
community development, technical assistance, and
formulation of public policy; helped to raise over $1
billion in new federal funding for HIV/AIDS and public
health-related direct service organizations serving
communities of African descent; created the first
programs for the Black clergy to develop strategies to
address the complexity of problems caused by HIV and
AIDS.
The NBLCA serves as chief consultant on
HIV/AIDS and public health-related issues to numerous
national organizations. Among them are its
partnerships with the Congressional Black Caucus and its
official partnerships with the National Association of
Black Social Workers, the National Caucus of Black State
Legislators, representing over 500 Black state elected
officials, and the National Baptist Ministers’
Convention with a membership of 8.2 million. The
NBLCA has served as an advisor on HIV/AIDS-related
issues to the United Nations and to the nations of
Gabon, Central African Republic, Uganda, and the
Bahamas, among others.
The work of the NBLCA is financially
supported by contributions and grants from a range of
sources – philanthropic foundations, corporations,
government, individual donors, and proceeds from special
fund-raising events such as the annual Choose Life
Awards Benefit Gala. These funds are allocated
across the nation to support the organization’s
volunteer leadership efforts.
