National & Local Affiliate Organizations
An Organization of Organizations
Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune recognized the necessity to extend the leadership of Black women through a national organization. In 1935, Bethune, called together 28 national women leaders to form "an organization of organizations," a council that became the National Council of Negro Women, Inc. (NCNW). Bethune envisioned NCNW serving as a clearinghouse, facilitating networking and coalition building, and advocating the use of collective power on issues affecting women, their families, and their communities. Today, NCNW sponsors educational, economic, social, and cultural projects nationally and locally to achieve equality of opportunity.
With its 39 national affiliates and more than 240 sections, NCNW is a 501(c)3 organization with an outreach to nearly four million women.
