Money is complicated. We help make it make sense.

The Association for Black Economic Power (ABEP) helps individuals and families understand money, make informed decisions, and build financial confidence — without judgment, jargon, or pressure.
 

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by finances, unsure where to start, or tired of being talked at instead of supported, you’re not alone. ABEP exists to meet you where you are and help you move forward in your financial journey.
