EDUCATING TO ACHIEVE BOLD ECONOMIC POWER
OUR MISSION
To promote economic independence, multi-generational wealth, and community development for Black families and businesses.
OUR VISION
Remove social stigmas and provide a solid financial foundation for our people to move from existing to thriving by creating a cooperative Northside focused ecosystem of community partners working toward the common goal of building and sustaining wealth for the Black diaspora that stays circulating in our community.

INFO & RESOURCES
1/1
When you donate to ABEP, you are investing in bold, lasting solutions that change lives. We are not just teaching financial literacy — we are building the foundation for generational wealth by tackling systemic barriers head-on.
ABEP is strong enough to have launched Arise Community Credit Union, proving we can create infrastructure that keeps dollars circulating in the community longer. But Arise is only one piece of what your support makes possible. Your gift sustains ABEP’s work in schools, churches, businesses, and neighborhoods — where we bring financial literacy and empowerment directly to the people who need [and wants] it most.
Donate to ABEP today, because your contribution is the difference between surviving and thriving for families, businesses, and future generations.
When you get involved with ABEP, you don’t just volunteer, you join a movement that’s rewriting what financial empowerment looks like. You’ll help deliver financial literacy and coaching to schools, congregations, and community groups, ensuring people don’t just learn about money, but build wealth and stability that lasts.
ABEP’s real power is in people like you. By lending your time, talent, or expertise, you become part of the infrastructure that keeps opportunity circulating.
You’ll gain connections, strengthen your community, and help create opportunities that last for generations. ABEP creates spaces where your contribution of time and talent turns into opportunity for others to thrive
Volunteer with ABEP now, because your impact will continue you in the form of stronger families, stronger businesses, and stronger communities.
Generational wealth gaps, lack of access to capital, systemic exclusion, these barriers have weighed on our communities for too long. ABEP responded by building something historic - a path for your financial infrastructure.
When you learn more and engage with us, you’re not just supporting another nonprofit. You’re joining the only Black-led organization in Minnesota that has built a financial institution to secure true economic independence. This is about more than literacy — it’s about ownership.
Discover how you can help strengthen the foundation that will uplift generations.
