NJPACCI VISION

The New Jersey Pan-African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NJPACCI) is a non-profit organization that was established in 1992 to serve the needs of the community. It consists of individuals and businesses who collaborate to promote the economic, social, and civic well-being of their communities.  NJPACCI strives to create economic opportunities and empowerment for under-served groups through various programs and strategies. By doing so, NJPACCI contributes to the stability and growth of our cities, our state, and nation, as well as the development of minority businesses and institutions.  In addition to the Chamber activities, the group has expanded to include the Asbury Park Business Incubator and the Community Development Corporation. NJPACCI is registered as a 501(c)(6) organization, whereas its incubator and CDC are recognized as 501(c)(3) organizations. 

The New Jersey Pan-African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NJPACCI) was founded in 1992 and became a legal entity in 1993 as a response to an outcry from disadvantaged communities in the state. Despite its small size, the organization has a significant vision in order to continue the legacy of its founding fathers. Their efforts resulted in positive changes in job accessibility, decent housing, advocacy for better education, and financial stability in their communities. As of today, NJPACCI has taken on the challenge of continuing their work with a new approach and mission. It should be noted that all chamber entities remain committed to the original vision and purpose of the organization.
