Economic Development

Financial Literacy

CFC acknowledges the impact economics play on the development of

families and children in high poverty areas. From a lack of quality

programs, proper infrastructure to providing support, and information

sharing of strategies on how to achieve and maintain financial wellbeing,

CFC will bridge the gap by developing strategies around financial literacy

and economic development. The understanding of basic economic

principles and prudent cash management will empower generations of

black families to not only thrive to move the entire community forward. We

propose the following objectives

• Develop necessary education, partnerships, and resources to

empower economic models that advance african americans in the

greater RO Twp region

• Locally ensure business and governments are aware of the

disparities in employment, lending, wealth, and business ownership,

work towards closing the gap

• Create an expanding movement of informed and concerned citizens

and organizations who work together to build a strong financially

aware community focused on long term financial stability

• Provide basic financial training toward the goals of better economic

planning, long term stability and generational wealth

• Enrich the community with tactics, tools and processes to eliminate

poverty, promote financial well being and provide for opportunities to

advance the community as a collective whole
