The National Hook-up of Black Women, Inc., (NHBW, Inc.) is a charitable 501(c)3 corporation with members dedicated to building stronger families within their communities.

The NHBW, Inc. membership reflects a rich history and diversity of women of African descent that represents a broad constituency which crosses economic, social and educational levels. Hook-up members volunteer their time and talents to provide services that impact the lives of many in need.

The NHBW, Inc. was formed to create and implement an agenda of art, cultural, health and human service programs, which is supported by members across the nation.

The National Hook-Up of Black Women, Inc. (NHBW) organization was formally established in 1974. Our goal is to affect the community at its source. Attained achievement comes through the empowerment of local chapters who best define the needs of their communities and who can, as the need dictates, institute programs effectively at the grass roots level that are within the scope of NHBW's national agenda.
