For the month of May, REV’s Employee and Community Engagement Team (ECET) takes great pleasure in making a monetary donation of $3,000 to Increasing H.O.P.E (Helping Others Prosper Economically), a South Carolina financial literacy non-profit. An initiative 20 years in the making, Increasing H.O.P.E is steadfast in its mission to help individuals and families secure financial freedom and stability by way of personal finance education and training.

“Personal finance is just that, personal. It’s amazing to see the doors that Increasing H.O.P.E.’s Executive Director, Dorothea Bernique has opened for thousands of individuals who have sought out a trusted friend in finance outside of financial institutions. The organization’s ability to present concepts that seem out of reach, is key to making real progress towards building a legacy for those they serve,” said Kelly Nix, Public Relations Coordinator at REV. “We’re proud to support their mission and see their clients thrive.”

Increasing H.O.P.E offers no-cost financial literacy programming to embolden individuals to take control of their personal finance through weekly webinars, one-on-one financial counseling, and assistance with all aspects of personal financial management.
