- Black males work: acknowledges the injustice of unequal race and gender outcomes; seeks to address the injustice of race and gender disparities; employs targeted strategies; uses a race- and gender-specific metric to evaluate success; and engages work through a race + gender lens.
- Opportunities for action include providing infrastructure, creating networks of support, and increasing capacity.
- Important but under-resourced areas in black male philanthropy include access to affordable housing, gender-based violence, and political enfranchisement.
- Challenges include the limitations of "males of color" as a framing tool, lack of institutional leadership, potential for black male fatigue, and prioritizing gender equity while still focusing on black males.
