100 Black Men of North Metro Atlanta

What 100 Black Men of North Metro Atlanta does

100 Black Men of America, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit mentoring organization founded in 1963 in New York City and nationally incorporated in 1986. Headquartered at 141 Auburn Avenue NE in Atlanta, Georgia, it delivers the "Four For The Future" programmatic framework (Mentoring, Education, Health & Wellness, Economic Empowerment) through a network of 98-121 chapters spanning the United States, England, and the Bahamas. The organization serves African American youth and communities, reaching an estimated 125,000 youth annually through signature programs including Mentoring The 100 Way®, the African American History Challenge (founded 1995), National Scholarship Program ($1,000-$5,000 awards), Collegiate 100® chapters at 60+ universities, and Emerging 100® for young professionals ages 22-35. Scaled programs include Dollars & $ense Youth Investment Competition (sponsored by State Farm), Hands on Banking (sponsored by Wells Fargo), Project SOAR (sponsored by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation), Health Care 2.0 with MIMI-RX biometric monitoring technology, and the Drake University Law School guaranteed scholarship pathway.

The organization's business model is donation-based with no fees charged for program participation. Revenue streams comprise individual donations, corporate sponsorships (State Farm, Coca-Cola, Wells Fargo, UPS, Walgreens, Ally Financial, AARP, JD Finish Line Foundation, NBA, NFL, Southwest Airlines), foundation grants, membership dues, and chapter-level fundraising events such as scholarship galas. Technology infrastructure is service-based and traditional; notable digital assets include the MIMI-RX health monitoring application (developed by Eagle Force Associates), a member portal, and a recently announced HOPE AI partnership with Operation HOPE focused on AI and financial literacy education. Distribution is chapter-led and event-driven, anchored by the annual national conference (40th edition scheduled June 17-21, 2026, at New York Hilton Midtown) and supported by grassroots programming including the Real Men Vote civic engagement campaign.

The beneficiary base is structurally diversified across youth, collegiate students, young professionals, and adult members, while the funding base is concentrated among a small roster of major corporate and foundation sponsors. With 10,000+ members and a stated operating budget of approximately $5 million, the organization operates at meaningful scale for a national Black-led mentoring nonprofit but remains dependent on sustaining its top-tier sponsor relationships. Strategic momentum is evident in the HOPE AI partnership, continued conference and program expansion, and board leadership renewal under Chairman Milton H. Jones, Jr. (installed September 2023).
