Economic inequality, financial illiteracy, inequitable access to capital and lack of financial dignity are real and systemic issues that have hindered the economic growth and opportunity for under-served individuals and small businesses for far too long. We recognize these problems are complex. It will require the concerted efforts of partners in government and the local community and private sector to develop innovative and collaborative solutions.
IIG Partners Foundation (IIGPF) works with like-minded individuals and organizations to identify where the greatest impact can be achieved. We focus on plausible programs and initiatives that address these issues so we can establish long-term goals for improvement, create and track key performance indicators to measure our progress, and then lead the efforts to rally support and build coalitions to work towards eliminating these problems.
