8 Mission Statement African Development Center works within the African communities of Minnesota to start and sustain successful businesses, build wealth and promote community reinvestment.

9 Our Philosophy Through training, consultations, workshops, and providing business loans, ADC is successfully illustrating how cultural competency and financial literacy can empower a community to be selfsufficient and active contributors to the State of Minnesota.

10 Our Approach Culturally-Sensitive: ADC continuously shapes its services and products as a response to concerns voiced by the African community that local economic development organizations lacked the resources and ability to address financial, cultural, and language barriers.

11 Our Work Business Development: In addition to technical assistance and counseling, ADC provides loans to small businesses - including traditional as well as culturally-sensitive loans.

12 Our Work Housing Education: ADC provides certified first-time homebuyer education programs adapted to suit the cultural needs of the clients.

13 Our Work Financial Education: ADC provides financial literacy counseling and education for all clients to take control of their finances, master their money, and reach their goals.
