Economic Development

The “100” considers economic empowerment as a necessary step toward creating a just society, not only here in the United States, but for black people around the world. When we think of economic empowerment we are thinking about the individual's or a community's ability to be self-determined in creating dreams, pursuing them and ultimately perpetuating them by establishing the mechanisms to sustain generational wealth. Our program initiatives promote economic self-sufficiency through financial literacy, family wealth building and entrepreneurship.
