Made possible by a generous grant from the Jessie Ball duPont Fund, the Reducing Intergenerational Poverty Planning Grant seeks to integrate financial literacy curricula and initiatives throughout Richmond. In this initial phase, activity focuses on bringing aboard financial management consultants and additional Steering Committee partners. Ongoing collaborations with sister agencies include the City of Richmond’s Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) and Area Congregations Together in Service (ACTS).

Recently hired Financial Literacy Projector Coordinator Adam Nathanson immersed himself in the task at hand beginning this week. With five years experience in the City of Richmond’s Department of Economic Development, as well as a distinguished track with Richmond Public Schools Adult & Continuing Education, Adam possesses an intimate professional knowledge of the developmental and cultural issues facing youth and economically challenged individuals in our city.
