The purpose of the NEPA Black Owned Business Expo Charitable Fund is to provide a means for minority business owners to showcase their start-up businesses at an annual expo. This fund will assist with the rental cost and provide networking opportunities with other like-minded organizations. Future plans for the fund include supporting other charitable organizations with special projects to support underserved of our community and/or offer educational track learning conferences, workshops, etc. Future collaborative efforts include strategic partnerships with the Wyoming Valley, Pittston, Back Mountain and Hazleton Chambers of Commerce/Business and Industry to help engage and connect participants and support this endeavor.
