Community Reinvestment Financial Coaching and Mentorship Grant Project
Seattle, WA, May 2024 – We are pleased to announce PIM Savvy has partnered with the Washington State Department of Commerce (COMMERCE) to assist with the Community Reinvestment Financial Coaching and Mentorship Grant project. This project began in March 2024 and promotes asset building such as home ownership and expanding access to financial resources including, but not limited to, small businesses and entrepreneurs, financial literacy training, and other small business training and support activities. With over 25 years of experience in banking and finances, PIM Savvy has gained extensive knowledge about financial coaching and mentoring topics which makes us subject matter experts in this field. We have previously partnered with the Washington State Department of Commerce for Washington’s Working Families Tax Credit Outreach program since October 2022 and are proud to collaborate with COMMERCE again for this new grant.
For this project, PIM Savvy will focus on a multitude of financial coaching topics such as reducing debt-income ratio/debt remediation, improving credit scores, attaining higher wages, strategies for job finding/seeking, budgeting, savings, tax planning, setting and achieving financial goals, establishing small businesses, saving to buy a home and more.
The Community Reinvestment Financial Coaching and Mentorship Grant aims to help individuals and families build a financially stable future.
