FBC is launching a new service for Premium Black Builders- Trusteeship and grantwriting consultations for Grassroots organizations. Larger grants require the grassroots organization to have a trustee to help manage the funds and help with reporting. We will also be offering grant-writing consultations for premium black builders who need help with their grant applications.
Benefits of having a trustee:
1. Strategic Leadership: Trustees provide strategic direction and ensure that the organization adheres to its mission and vision.
2. Access to Expertise and Networks:
- Diverse Skills and Knowledge: Trustees often bring a wealth of experience from various fields such as finance, law, marketing, and human resources.

4. Financial Stewardship: Trustees oversee the organization’s financial health, ensuring proper budgeting, financial planning, and resource allocation.
5. Advocacy and Representation:
