African Development Center

 The African Development Center (ADC) is the first community development corporation in the U.S. started by and for African immigrants. ADC was launched because existing economic development organizations lacked the resources needed to address the financial, cultural, and language barriers that hinder African immigrants from achieving self-sufficiency.

The mission of the African Development Center is to grow businesses, build wealth, and increase reinvestments for all, especially in the African communities of Minnesota. ADC delivers services to the African immigrant population in three key areas of asset building: financial literacy, homeownership, and business development.
