What's Going On

Roberta Flack is not just “an elegant and legendary vocal superstar” (Amazon). She is also a dedicated humanitarian, educational activist and social conscience who established her Roberta Flack Foundation to support aspiring creatives and causes she cares about.

In 2010, Ms. Flack founded The Roberta Flack Foundation whose Mission is two-fold: 1) to support animal welfare; and 2) to help children, especially girls of color, with their education, especially Music.

Roberta Flack herself experienced the support her foundation aims to foster. As a young girl growing up in rural Black Mountain, North Carolina, she was mentored by her family, teachers, church members, choir directors and many others that helped her realize and actualize her talents and dreams. She has never forgotten these people and has always maintained the importance of nurturing young people in realizing their dreams through education and mentorship, the cornerstone of The Roberta Flack Foundation.

Roberta Flack is an animal lover. She has rescued many animals (retired race horses, injured birds, stray cats, abandoned donkeys, and more). Bringing them to an upstate New York farm, they are given a loving place to live, food to eat, clean water to drink and open space to thrive.
