Economic Development

MISSION

To encourage and empower the African American community to become financial literate and economically self-sufficient through the development and facilitation of programmatic initiatives which address the educational and technical needs of our youth and those of the broader community.

PROGRAMS

FLiP (Financial Literacy in Partnership)
The 100 is focused on FLiPping the all too often norms about money and the fact that minority students are not learning enough about how money works at school or at home. FLiP gives participants living examples of good savings models, investing, and a since of belonging.
The goal of this program is to help students understand basic savings/investment principles and to apply these standards in their day-to-day lives.

CHRONICLES OF BLACK WEALTH
An intergenerational resource tool that teaches applied economics through the exploration of basic finance principles and the examination of the beliefs, ideals, and behaviors of African Americans who are financially literate and economically self-sufficient.

The 100 Black Men of Tampa Bay, Inc. aired Volume 1: Getting Started with Family Wealth Building and Volume 2: The African American Entrepreneur on the local public access channel.  Stay tuned for Volume 3: Early Childhood Economics.
