Urban League of Broward County

Based in Fort Lauderdale, the Urban League of Broward County is a community-based organization working to help Black residents secure economic self-reliance, parity, power, and civil rights. Through its Entrepreneurship Center, the nonprofit supports business creation and growth in South Florida’s historically disenfranchised communities by offering a range of business development services and small loans. In 2016, the Center supported the creation of 44 new businesses and engaged 1,000 people in asset-building workshops. To increase wealth in low-income communities, the Urban League also runs an Individual Development Account program that provides a $2 match for every dollar saved for post-secondary education, business development, or homeownership.
