LITTLE ROCK, Ark — A handful of Black-led and Black-serving nonprofit organizations across Central Arkansas recently received vital extra funding to help serve their communities.
The grants came from the new "Building Black Communities" fund.
The Arkansas Community Foundation received $1 million from Facebook and awarded 40 different recipients up to $25,000.
For the nonprofit Life Skills for Youth, it means they can touch more kids' lives in southwest Little Rock like they touched Jorden Moody's.
