Support the Shirley Chisholm Project’s Mission:

The Shirley Chisholm Project is a nonprofit organization. Your support can help us continue our work as stewards of Chisholm’s social, intellectual, political and archival legacy.

The SCP is led by Dr. Zinga A. Fraser, a renowned scholar of the Congresswoman’s life and political work. It is located at Chisholm’s alma mater, Brooklyn College and is the largest repository of oral histories, documents and other archival materials related to Shirley Chisholm’s life. The SCP is sought out by museums, artists, filmmakers, media outlets and academic entities as the leading consultant source on Shirley Chisholm. Furthermore, we publish informative content, conduct original research, and organize educational events surrounding Shirley Chisholm’s life and the issues she championed. Most notably, we hold a Chisholm Day conference every year to commemorate her life. 

Your contributions will allow us to:

  • Maintain our and grow our physical archives
  • Expand our oral history collection
  • Continue our free and public programming
  • Develop K-12 curriculum related to Shirley Chisholm’s historical legacy
  • Fund student internships
