BRGs provide support to members by offering training, networking opportunities, mentoring, and other resources designed to help them succeed professionally and personally. They also work closely with senior management to help shape policies related to diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

Each BRG has its own board of directors that is responsible for setting goals, developing strategies for achieving those goals, and organizing activities that further the group's mission. Board members typically serve two-year terms and often come from various backgrounds within the organization.

BRGs usually host events such as networking mixers, educational lectures or seminars, community service projects, attend conferences or symposiums, celebrate cultural holidays or anniversary celebrations etc. These events can be open to all employees or targeted toward specific segments of the workforce such as women or minorities.

Most organizations provide some funding for BRGs through their corporate philanthropy programs or budget allocations for diversity and inclusion initiatives. BRGs may also apply for grants from external sources such as nonprofit organizations dedicated to advancing workplace diversity.
