Tracy African American Association (TAAA) is a non-profit organization established in 1994 by a group of concerned professionals seeking to form ties among African Americans and others in the Tracy Community. Our mission is to create a cooperative environment that unites people of all ages and backgrounds through sponsorship, while promoting and contributing to educational, cultural, and social programs and activities that foster awareness, diversity, and a cooperative environment that unites the Tracy Community. Membership is open to individuals who share and embrace the TAAA Mission.

Since its inception, TAAA has placed special emphasis on youth education, mentorship and welfare, and geared nearly all of its fundraising events and activities to benefit its Wayne Nelson Academic Scholarship Program. As of 2025, our cumulative scholarship grants totaled more than $160,000.
