There are local chapters (some affiliated, others independent).

The movement itself is decentralized, meaning not all BLM actions or protests are organized or funded by the foundation.
Funding
-
BLMGNF received tens of millions of dollars in donations, especially after 2020.

Donors include private citizens, corporations, and philanthropic organizations.
-
Funding has been used for grants, local initiatives, and support for Black-led groups — though financial transparency and management have been subjects of public scrutiny and media controversy.
