Economic Development

We believe economic empowerment as a necessary step toward creating a just society, not only here in the Bloomington/Normal, but for black people across the country. When we think of economic development 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 future program initiatives will promote economic self-sufficiency through financial literacy, family wealth building and entrepreneurship.
