Square One Aims to Make an Impact with Financial-literacy Program
Given the scope of Square One’s work for children and families, it’s not unusual for the organization to receive contributions to support its efforts. But recently, FR Investment Group offered a donation that goes far beyond writing a check. “Instead of making a monetary donation, we’ve chosen to do something harder,” said Peter Cote, president of FP Investment Group. “We’re giving our time and services to help Square One clients and staff improve their financial literacy.” Dawn DiStefano, Square One’s executive director, had seen similar attempts at financial education fizzle out, despite good intentions. This latest proposal was different.
