NCBW is an outgrowth of dedicated African American women in New York City. These women persistently worked to address the problems that affected their families, their communities, and themselves, and they aggressively began to reach out to other Black women and to mobilize their emerging strength into a visible and influential force. In 1971, an organization developed from these efforts that was called the Coalition of 100 Black Women.
The advocacy group seeks to empower African American women to meet their diverse needs through programs which provide for effective networking among African American women as well as linkages with other organizations, and the corporate and political sectors. Its programs include:
- Leadership Development Institute
- Visibility and effectiveness in the socio-economic and political arenas
- Advocacy for education, health, and economic development
- Role modeling and mentoring to young women
