The Freedom Fund is the cornerstone fundraiser of our Branch. Every dollar raised directly supports our mission to advocate for civil rights, promote equity, and empower Staten Island's Black community and all communities of color. The funds raised that evening sustain programs, scholarships, advocacy efforts, and the everyday work of justice.
Join us for an elegant evening of celebration, community, and purpose at The Vanderbilt at South Beach — Staten Island's only oceanfront event venue, with sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
Tickets for the 2026 Freedom Fund Gala will go on sale beginning May 15, 2026. Check back here for ticket categories, pricing, and your secure purchase link. We encourage you to act quickly — this event fills up fast!

The Freedom Fund Gala is the signature annual fundraiser and our most important event of the year. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been fighting for civil rights and racial justice for over 115 years — and the work continues right here on Staten Island.
