Black Wealth Summit 2025

The Black Wealth Summit (BWS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to closing the racial wealth gap by teaching Black people how to build, grow, and sustain wealth at every stage of life. Our mission is powered by a clear and radical “why”: to educate as many Black people as possible about financial wellness, wealth-building, and sustainable management. Through strategic partnerships with leading financial institutions, insurance agencies, and estate planning experts, we create premier experiences that empower our community with real knowledge and practical tools. Because when Black families thrive, our communities thrive — and the entire country benefits.

Now celebrating its fifth anniversary, the Black Wealth Summit returns to Washington, D.C., in December 2025 for a powerful, multi-day experience at the Hilton. Rooted in culture, community, and economic empowerment, this year’s Summit will feature intimate fireside chats, expert-led breakout sessions, and meaningful networking opportunities.

Attendees will gain actionable strategies in areas like investing, real estate, credit, insurance, entrepreneurship, crypto, and estate planning — all designed to meet you where you are, whether you're just beginning your journey or deep into building generational wealth.

New this year, BWS is partnering with HBCU Connect to host a job fair, bringing top employers to the D.C. area to support employment opportunities and help connect our community with meaningful career paths.

Join us in Washington, D.C., as we celebrate five years of impact — and continue the work of building lasting, generational Black wealth together.
