Overview

Mission

The mission is to create the most reliable, professionally integrated resource center that will thrive as not only the informational hub for minority businesses in New Orleans, but serve as a powerhouse model of cyclical support through encouraging community investments and stimulating economic redevelopment in traditionally African American urban communities.

What it reported doing in 2020

To advance economic opportunities for African Americans through monetary investments, financial literacy training, workforce development, business network enhancement, and administrative support.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
