ABOUT BANKBLACK

BankBlackUSA is an independent, grassroots organization with a mission to promote financial advocacy in Black communities and build upon the work of past generations to level the playing field and close the racial wealth gap.

The partnership with BankBlackUSA was through Instrument’s Build. Grow. Serve program, dedicating pro bono design, strategy, and development work to nonprofit organizations focused on the amplification of Black voices, fighting systemic racism, and the pursuit of a more just and inclusive future.

Instrument set out to redesign the BankBlackUSA website, elevate the brand with consistent visuals, voice, and tone, and create a platform that supports the brand’s movement through impactful storytelling.
