Chamber initiates grants and scholarships for community organizations and local college students.

In 2023 Nepa Black chamber has established a grant and scholarship fund for community organizations that participate in volunteer efforts around juveniles and education. Demario Bonner (Steering committee member seen above) is handing a check to the Lehigh Valley study group for participating in the Juvenile reaffirmation program founded by its sister organization NEPAPAC. This fund will be ongoing and with the hopes of increasing the fund yearly.

Scranton University Black Student Union member Arissa Chambers receives a scholarship on behalf of her organization for mentoring children in the Summer Science program formally known as STEAM. This program has evolved into SCHEMA in which horticulture and conservation play a larger role. This scholarship will be given annual to Black Student Unions across North East Pennsylvania.
