Foundation for Black Women's Wellness

Established in June 2012, the Foundation for Black Women’s Wellness (FFBWW)  is a Wisconsin based non-profit organization committed to Empowering a Generation of Well Black Women. We do this by energizing, mobilizing, and supporting Black Women to transform their lives through education, advocacy, and powerful partnerships. We envision a world where Black Women are healthy, thriving, and free. Black Women’s health in Wisconsin is in a state of emergency, with Black Women and families over-represented in all major categories of disease and illness, and  are more likely than their peers to live with and die from treatable and preventable illnesses, and at younger ages. The Foundation is the forerunner in Wisconsin in addressing these and broad equity issues, providing comprehensive programming, advocacy, and research through evidence based practice that is driving change and public accountability.
