Alliance for Boys and Men of Color

What Alliance for Boys and Men of Color does

The Alliance for Boys and Men of Color (ABMoC) is a nonprofit advocacy coalition founded in 2013 and headquartered in Sacramento, California, operating as a fiscal sponsorship under Sierra Health Foundation: Center for Health Program Management. Its core mission is to advance race and gender justice for boys and men of color by transforming policies that the organization characterizes as failing these communities — across criminal justice, education, immigration, and gender-based violence — through legislative advocacy, grassroots organizing, and coalition-building.

ABMoC's product surface is programmatic rather than commercial. The BMoC Data Dashboard (built on Tableau) provides county-level data on the status and wellbeing of boys and men of color in California. The ABMoC Data Fellowship, in partnership with the Tableau Foundation since 2019, runs six-month cohorts (2024, 2025, 2026) to train network partners in data sourcing and visualization for advocacy campaigns. The Healing Together campaign, also launched in 2019, focuses on preventing intimate partner violence through healing, gender-justice, and racial-equity approaches, supported by toolkits and policy resources.

The organization is funded by philanthropic grants from foundations including the California Funders for Boys and Men of Color and the Weingart Foundation. Its network includes 200+ advocacy and community organizations (e.g., Youth Justice Coalition, CURYJ, Californians for Justice, Initiate Justice, Fathers and Families of San Joaquin, National Compadres Network, Hoops4Justice), and ABMoC reports having passed 100+ bills in the California legislature, secured $30M+ for K-12 support systems, and trained 1,000+ youth leaders. ABMoC participates in roughly a dozen cross-issue coalitions, including the Building the California Dream Alliance, California Alliance for Youth and Community Justice (CAYCJ), California Opportunity Youth Network (COYN), California Partnership to End Domestic Violence (CPEDV), Care First Coalition, Fix School Discipline, College for All Coalition, and ICE out of California Coalition.

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Vera Institute of Justice: National research and advocacy organization focused on criminal justice reform, ending mass incarceration, and advancing dignity for system-impacted communities. Operates in overlapping issue space with ABMoC on incarceration, reentry, and justice policy but from a research/technical-assistance stance rather than direct community organizing.
• Borealis Philanthropy: Philanthropic intermediary that operates grantmaking pools including ones focused on Boys and Men of Color. Functions as a funder and field-builder in ABMoC's exact policy domain rather than a direct advocacy peer, but materially connected through funding flows and ecosystem support.

Broad incumbents

• National Urban League: Long-established civil rights and direct-services organization serving African American and urban communities through workforce, education, health, and civic engagement programs. A broad-incumbent peer with overlapping policy and community empowerment aims but a much larger service-delivery footprint.
• The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights: National umbrella coalition of more than 200 civil rights organizations that conducts federal-level advocacy and policy coordination. Operates in a similar coalition-organizing mold as ABMoC but at the federal level and across a broader civil rights portfolio.
• NAACP: One of the largest and oldest civil rights organizations in the U.S., with extensive state and local branch infrastructure doing advocacy on racial justice, voting rights, education, and criminal justice. Large-scale incumbent whose California State Conference plays in overlapping policy domains with ABMoC.

Direct peers

• Color of Change: Online racial justice organization running large-scale advocacy and media campaigns against systemic injustice. Comparable to ABMoC in targeting systemic barriers for Black communities and operating as a member-driven network advocating for policy change.
• Race Forward: National racial justice organization that advances racial equity through research, media, and movement-building. Directly comparable to ABMoC's mission of advancing race and gender justice through policy and advocacy, and similarly built around coalition-building with directly impacted communities.
• Advancement Project: National racial justice organization combining legal, policy, and organizing strategies to dismantle inequitable systems affecting communities of color. Highly comparable to ABMoC's policy advocacy and structural change model, with similar issue domains around education, criminal justice, and democracy reform.

Emerging players

• Liberation Ventures: Philanthropic and field-building organization supporting narrative and healing strategies for racial justice. Comparable to ABMoC's Healing Together campaign framing of healing-centered, gender-just approaches to ending intimate partner violence, though narrower in focus.
