Black Women's Blueprint, Inc.

What Black Women's Blueprint, Inc. does

Black Women's Blueprint, Inc. is a Brooklyn, New York-based nonprofit founded in 2008 that operates within a multidisciplinary healing ecosystem alongside sister entities Restore Forward (a cooperative) and The Reconciliation Center (the registered 501(c)(3) charitable arm). The organization and its sister entities jointly operate 453 acres of forest in Ava, New York as the basis for land-based healing, farming immersions, and ecological wellness programming, while also delivering programs from a Boonville, New York office at 201 Main Street. Its stated mission is to address the root causes and long-term impacts of trauma, violence, chronic stress, and systemic inequities through trauma healing, maternal health, reproductive justice, leadership development, community care, land stewardship, food as medicine, and holistic wellness.

The service surface is organized around three functional pillars: (1) Healing Needs Services — integrative pathways across biological/physiological, psychological/emotional, and social/group needs; (2) Therapies & Interventions — mental/emotional/psychological wellness, metabolic and regenerative therapies, and cellular and detoxification therapies blending functional medicine, mental health, traditional practices, and naturopathic interventions; and (3) experiential programming — the WILD! Healing medicine walk (September 9–12, 2026 in Ava, NY), the 4-day Leadership Healing Cohort Retreat, Freedom House Stays, weekly virtual gatherings such as Whole Body Healing With Herbs, and the 12-week Integrative Stress Recovery Coach™ Certification (Cohort 2: June 18 – September 10). The underlying "eco-somatic recovery method" is the unifying methodology, framing recovery at the cellular, communal, and ecological levels.

The business model is nonprofit and largely donation- and grant-driven, with supplementary fee income from retreats, certifications, consultations, and on-land stays. No pricing is publicly disclosed. An active multi-track capital campaign (Building Renovations $3.9M goal with $680,064 raised; Healing Gardens $200K goal with $76,000 raised; Healthy Living Program $400K goal; Meditation/Wellness Centers $200K goal) is hosted through blackwomensblueprint.ourpowerbase.net, signaling reliance on restricted philanthropic funding alongside program-generated revenue. Customer segments are primarily individuals, families, and communities affected by trauma and systemic inequities, with a growing secondary segment of organizational, academic, movement, and philanthropic leaders attending executive-style retreats, plus an emerging international audience via the Kenya/Tanzania journey. The organization operates with a lean team of 6 employees and uses digital (email, virtual events) plus in-person (retreats, immersive farming) channels.
