ABOUT the FREEDOM FUND GALA

The Freedom Fund Banquet is not just an event—it’s a movement.

Each year, this powerful gathering brings together civic leaders, faith communities, corporate partners, and grassroots advocates under one roof for one purpose: to advance the fight for justice, equity, and civil rights in Portsmouth and beyond.

As the Portsmouth NAACP’s largest annual fundraiser, this night fuels the work we do year-round—from protecting voting rights and advocating for policy change, to addressing housing inequities, supporting youth programs, and demanding accountability in criminal justice.

Your support doesn’t just buy a ticket to a gala—it invests in a legacy of change. It pushes the movement forward, funds the mission, and ensures that the voice of the people is not just heard—but empowered.

BECOME A PARTNER

The NAACP aligns with organizations that demonstrate a clear commitment to investing in the Black community—partners who don’t just speak about equity but actively sow into it. When you stand with us, you’re helping to create pathways where Black and other historically disenfranchised communities cannot only survive but truly thrive.

Your sponsorship means more than your name on a program. It is a declaration that you value justice, opportunity, and dignity for all. It says that your organization is willing to leverage its influence and resources to break down barriers, uplift voices, and strengthen the very fabric of our community.

Does this sound like your organization? If so, we invite you to join us.

Together, we can expand access to education, fight for fair housing, push for economic development, and ensure that future generations inherit a city—and a nation—where equity is not an aspiration but a lived reality.
