CBC Spouses
Meet the Spouses
The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Spouses are comprised of the wives and husbands of the African American members of the United States Congress. The CBC Spouses organization is a component of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Inc., a nonprofit non-partisan organization committed to public policy, research, education and leadership development. For more than 25 years, the Spouses have worked with donor sponsors to establish educational and training opportunities for high school and college students. The CBC Spouses laid the groundwork for the establishment of the CBCF’s internship and fellowship programs and in 1988, the Spouses established its first education scholarship program. Since then they have awarded more than $9 million in scholarships to deserving students.
For more information about the CBC Spouses contact Muriel Cooper, Senior Manager, Stakeholder Relations and Event Management at 202-263-2800 or mcooper@cbcfinc.org.
