ABOUT the FREEDOM FUND GALA

The Freedom Fund Banquet is not just an event—it’s a movement.

Each year, this powerful gathering brings together civic leaders, faith communities, corporate partners, and grassroots advocates under one roof for one purpose: to advance the fight for justice, equity, and civil rights in Portsmouth and beyond.

As the Portsmouth NAACP’s largest annual fundraiser, this night fuels the work we do year-round—from protecting voting rights and advocating for policy change, to addressing housing inequities, supporting youth programs, and demanding accountability in criminal justice.

Your support doesn’t just buy a ticket to a gala—it invests in a legacy of change. It pushes the movement forward, funds the mission, and ensures that the voice of the people is not just heard—but empowered.
