Economic Empowerment

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. The 100 defines economic empowerment as the ability to be self-determined in creating dreams, pursuing them and black-economic-empowerment-certificateultimately perpetuating them by establishing the mechanisms to sustain generational wealth. Our program initiatives promote generational economic self-sufficiency through financial literacy, family wealth building and entrepreneurship. Current programs include:

• Dollars & $ense Youth Investment Program
• SmartEdge by GMAC
• Money Smart
• Bank of America Family Home Ownership Program
• Prudential Financial Literacy Program
