This grant will support the Texas Black Expo’s Finance, Entrepreneurship and Wealth Development (FEW) initiative, which teaches young people these principles. The long-term goal is to open schools throughout the state of Texas that incorporate the FEW curriculum.
With a motto of Economic Prosperity Creates Awesome Communities, Texas Black Expo continues to provide a space for African American businesses and entrepreneurs to connect with potential customers, partners and investors. Its annual Summer Celebration event has become one of the largest and most influential events for the Black community in the state.
The collaboration with the NBA Foundation is more than just a financial boost; it represents a shared vision for a more equitable and prosperous future. The NBA Foundation grant will be instrumental in supporting several key initiatives of Texas Black Expo including programs focused on financial literacy, entrepreneurship resources, wealth-building strategies and mentorship for young African Americans.
