The Rafiki Coalition for Health and Wellness is a partner of the San Francisco Black Led Organizations Coalition (SFBLOC). SFBLOC is the first advocacy group created to serve local, Black-led organizations in San Francisco and has brought together more than 50 Black-led organizations to implement cohesive strategies and achieve shared goals. In addition, more than $2 million in funding was generated by SFBLOC in 2020 to build a thriving collective impact infrastructure to support the Black/African American community. In 2021, SBLOC undertook a strategic planning process to guide their work in 2021-2024.
After a series of internal meetings, an SFBLOC committee produced an initial draft of a strategic plan for the Coalition, highlighting SFBLOC’s mission to advocate collaboratively for equitable funding to support San Francisco’s Black/African American community in the areas of Housing and Black Arts & Culture. Facente Consulting was brought on to conduct a careful review of the draft plan and provide substantive recommendations for the final document, creating a strong foundation for the Coalition’s future work.
