Sponsoring Scholarships
In 2018, SDARJ started a scholarship program that annually awards scholarships to local Black/African American high school students headed for college. Students selected must demonstrate a concern for advancing racial justice. In 2022, eight students received $1,000 and a $500 scholarship was awarded to a paraprofessional to advance a teaching certificate.

Black Voices
In 2021, SDARJ launched Quarterly Magazine entitled Black Voices. The publication showcases the history, talents, accomplishments and perspective of Black community members.
Each edition is on SDARJ's website and a hard copy of the publication is distributed as an insert for Cape Gazette subscribers.
