GoVA Foundation and U.S. Century Bank Collaborate to Enhance Financial Literacy for Military Families in Broward County

The GoVA Foundation has announced a strategic partnership with U.S. Century Bank to extend free digital financial education to low- and moderate-income military families in Broward County, Florida. This initiative, supported by a Community Development grant from U.S. Century Bank, will benefit 10 qualified military households by providing them with access to The Edge platform. The Edge offers interactive courses, financial calculators, and various digital resources aimed at fostering financial independence and literacy within the military community.

George Earhart, the Executive Director of GoVA Foundation, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, highlighting the platform's user-focused design that facilitates easy engagement and practical application of financial knowledge. Martha Guerra-Kattou, EVP and Director of Sales & Marketing at U.S. Century Bank, emphasized the bank's commitment to community investment and the empowerment of military families through financial education.

The immediate fulfillment of the grant request underscores the high demand for financial education among military families, with GoVA Foundation receiving over 6,600 membership requests nationwide. The selected families in Southern Florida will enjoy unlimited access to The Edge platform's resources for 12 months, marking a significant step towards financial empowerment.

This partnership not only reflects U.S. Century Bank's dedication to supporting the military community in Southern Florida but also aligns with both organizations' broader mission to enhance access to financial education. By leveraging The Edge platform's comprehensive tools, the initiative aims to address the unique financial challenges faced by service members, veterans, and their spouses, thereby contributing to their long-term financial well-being.
