Mission
The Black Women's Agenda, Inc. (BWA) was founded in 1977 to highlight and address those issues that uniquely impact the lives of Black women and their families. BWA continues to work tirelessly to serve millions of women in the areas of education, health and economic empowerment.
Activities or mission (Part I)
SEE PART III, LINE 1.
-
A disproportionate number of black women are represented within statistics related to poverty, and lack access to economic and educational opportunity. The Black Women's Agenda, Inc. (BWA) is devoted to advancing, securing, and protecting the rights of these women. Constantly, the women of BWA strive to acquire greater understanding and cooperation about issues that affect all women and their families, while searching for new knowledge and new conceptualizations about said problems. Through the establishment of social priorities (an agenda), BWA facilitates discussions that lead to effective policies and meaningful change. Their continuous vigilance on issues affecting Black women worldwide empower women to step up and mitigate the gender gaps that affect women in our society.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
