In alignment with Delta Sigma Theta’s Five-Point Thrust, the North Fulton Economic Development Committee focuses on developing Financial Fortitude, our current Economic Development program initiative.
​​
According to research from the Brookings Institute, Black businesses constitute approximately 7% of the total businesses in the North Fulton service area. This creates a rich environment for support, promotion, and education. Given the high percentage of Black-owned businesses in the area, supporting entrepreneurship is a key focus for the North Fulton chapter. The Black Effect promotes financial fortitude through entrepreneurship, emphasizing the importance of supporting both the people and businesses within our service areas.
