Texas Black Expo, a prominent non-profit committed to advancing and promoting economic empowerment within the African American community, is delighted to share the news of being chosen as a recipient of the NBA Foundation grant. This substantial grant, bestowed by the NBA Foundation—an entity dedicated to driving economic empowerment in the Black community—represents a landmark moment for Texas Black Expo. It serves as a testament to the organization's steadfast dedication to nurturing business growth, educational excellence, and financial literacy among African Americans in Texas.

"The NBA Foundation's support is not just a recognition of our past achievements but a vote of confidence in our future endeavors," said Texas Black Expo founder and CEO Jerome D. Love. "This grant will enable us to expand our reach and deepen our impact, bringing us closer to our goal of a fully empowered, financially literate, and economically stable African American community."

“We are excited to welcome Texas Black Expo to the NBA family as a part of our tenth grant round,” said NBA Foundation Executive Director Greg Taylor. “The support from the NBA Foundation will serve to further Texas Black Expo’s mission to advance and promote economic empowerment for youth in Texas and prepare them for long-term success.”

For over two decades, Texas Black Expo has been a driving force in community development and empowerment. Through diverse programs, the organization has significantly impacted the lives of individuals and businesses within the African American community. This grant will specifically bolster the Texas Black Expo’s Finance, Entrepreneurship, and Wealth Development (FEW) initiative, aimed at instilling these vital principles in young people. The ultimate goal is to establish schools across Texas that integrate the FEW curriculum.

Embodying the motto "Economic Prosperity Creates Awesome Communities," Texas Black Expo remains a hub for African American businesses and entrepreneurs to engage with potential customers, partners, and investors. Its annual Summer Celebration event has evolved into one of the largest and most influential gatherings for the Black community in the state.
