Cash App to Support FGI with Donation of Over $25,000

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--First Generation Investors (“FGI”), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides high school students in underserved communities with the knowledge and skills to thrive in the investment economy, recently announced a partnership with Cash App, a leading mobile payment service developed by Block, Inc (formerly Square). Through this partnership, Cash App has made FGI its Q2 social impact partner, supporting FGI with $35,000 in donations and encouraging its followers to donate to FGI using our cash tag ($FirstGenInvestors) through a matching campaign.

“As FGI continues to expand its footprint nationally, we are grateful for supporters like Cash App who help us maximize the impact of our work,” said FGI Head of Partnerships, Charlie Ewig. “Cash App’s generosity will help us to fuel our continued growth and support the expansion of our organization to allow us to reach as many students as possible with our programming.”

FGI chapters consist of mentors and volunteers who work with local high school students, providing them with the necessary knowledge and insight to invest with confidence. Upon completing the FGI curriculum and turning 18, FGI graduates receive real funds and investment accounts to continue developing their portfolio.
