GO GLOBAL WINS FUNDING FROM THE MAYOR’S OFFICE
WASHINGTON DC – GO GLOBAL has been awarded a grant from the DC Mayor's Office on Latino Affairs (MOLA) Community Development Grant Program for its Tell Your Money Story Masterclass Series. This is a financial storytelling and educational program geared towards expanding financial inclusion opportunities for the residents of the Greater Washington DC area, particularly those in the Latino community. This investment will allow GO Global to continue its efforts which began in summer 2021 with the launch of the Tell Your Money Story series that was in partnership with The Latino Economic Development Corporation. The Tell Your Money Story program will reopen to the public early 2022.
