Invest in the Future!

Through arts, education, and social justice programming, Institute of Black Intellectual Innovation (IBII) works to build bridges between communities on and off campus to amplify the underrepresented voices of Black students, families and organizations in Orange County.  

As we change the narrative of historical and contemporary marginalization with conversations and community uplift, we need your support to take IBII’s influence in the community to the next level! 

Donate today and help provide funding to increase our administrative support and operating costs for the Institute and provide funding that will help elevate faculty research and student success.

Join IBII Oct 14th for our second Black Book Chat event: Too Extra: Black, Latine, and AfroLatine Adornment, Performance, and Identity, where we will have food, dance, giveaways and a student and author panel.
