Open Investment Opportunities

The Black L.O.V.E. Philanthropic Partnership (BLPP) is seeking to identify Black-led and/or Black-serving organizations with proven impact in advancing community resilience through civic engagement, violence prevention, and/or youth empowerment. This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is a pre-screening step designed to help us understand which organizations are best positioned for the next phase of BLPP investment.

Organizations that demonstrate strong alignment with the L.O.V.E. principles — Live, Own, Vote, Excel — and have a track record of effective programming will be invited to submit a full RFP application for funding opportunities ranging from $25,000 to $100,000. This process ensures that resources are directed to organizations with the experience, capacity, and community trust to make the greatest impact.

Safe and affordable housing is foundational to all of this and is a common need we hear about across our regional community. Metro United Way is hard at work to address this need and has lifted housing as a priority area of focus in Clark, Floyd, and Harrison Counties and have partnered with New Directions Housing Corporation in elevating Repair Affair in Southern Indiana.

Download the application for program requirements. Recipients are based on a first come first service basis. We look for repairs that will improve the home’s safety, security, and weather efficiency. Repair Affair is not a decorating, remodeling, or emergency repair program. ALL application requirements must be met for consideration.
