The appropriated funds can be used for a range of activities including intergenerational learning programs, youth engagement, cultural preservation efforts, educational workshops, storytelling projects, and community events. The overall goal is to promote collective resilience, foster a sense of belonging, and preserve Black ancestral knowledge and land-based traditions for future generations.
