Welcome

Resourcing Black women to rest, dream, and (re)imagine their lives and the future of their movements.

Our Mission

Black Women are Prophets

The brilliance of Black women nurtures new worlds and creates new possibilities. Yet less than 1% of philanthropic dollars are invested in Black women.

The Octavia Fund wants to discover what phenomenal futures we could live into when Black women have the time, space, connection and capital we deserve.
