ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated understands the need for financial literacy and staying abreast of economic trends as a challenge for our community. See below our national and local initiatives to help achieve our economic development thrust:
FINANCIAL FORTITUDE
National economic trends, such as unstable employment, the threat to Social Security as we know it, and the widening gap between wealth and poverty are the basis for the development of Financial Fortitude, the current Economic Development program initiative of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. Financial Fortitude is a process that will help program participants to set and define goals, develop a plan to achieve them, and to put the plan into action. The process serves as a blueprint to address all aspects of personal finances.
The Financial Fortitude initiative is comprised of ten components and provides a collaboration of information from major economic corporations and other well-known financial institutions. The ten components include: Goal Setting, Financial Planning, Budgeting, Debt Management, Savings & Investments, Retirement Planning, Homeownership, Insurance, Estate Planning, and Entrepreneurship.
The initiative helps members of the Sorority spread financial education throughout their local communities

BAHA BLACK MARKET | Small Business Pop-up Shop
Annually, for Small Business Saturday in November, we bring our BAHA Black Market to the community to encourage holiday spend with local small business from the communities we serve. The goal is to shop early, shop small businesses, recirculate Black community dollars, and elevate economic impact in our community.

BAHA ECONOmoves | Community Business Spotlight
BAHA’s ECONOmoves is focused on keeping Black businesses as permanent pillars of our communities. We encourage our chapter to get their families gathered at a designated Black-owned business for a designated time, to provide Delta generated revenue and customers that impact the business bottom line. We also highlight this business on our social media to encourage recurring business through our network. |
