Newark Funder Affinity Group: Building Financial Prosperity in Newark

Please join us as we hear from partners engaged in building the financial capability of Newark residents to stabilize their families and build wealth for the long-term. We will be joined by Catherine Wilson, President and CEO of the United Way of Greater Newark, who will discuss the work of the Newark Prosperity Hub (formerly Newark Asset Building Coalition) to help residents build assets and generational wealth. Dominque Lee, Founder and CEO of Brick Education Network, will brief us on South Ward Children’s Neighborhood’s initiatives. Kevin Callaghan will provide updates on the recently released City of Newark Economic Empowerment Blueprint. Prudential Financial will discuss their latest initiatives, including a partnership with the Financial Health Network. This is all in an effort to develop a shared partnership framework to inform our collective approach and align resources.

*We will also receive a brief update from the Newark Immigrant Resource Hub at the beginning of this meeting, a follow-up to our March meeting.
