Financial Literacy Month 2022 - Goodera helps nonprofits celebrate and empower financial literacy through volunteering programs

To celebrate Financial Literacy Month in April, Goodera launched its global campaign for financial literacy, #GoDigitalGoSecure. The campaign aimed to encourage individuals, organizations, and corporations to gain a better understanding of finances. To mark the occasion, Goodera planned virtual volunteering initiatives and stirred conversations with nonprofit leaders and philanthropists.

Nonprofits from around the world come together every year in April to increase awareness about the benefits of improving people's financial health.

"I think as a country, we take pride in the fact that we have about 75% of the literacy rate. But unfortunately, according to recent data, the financial literacy rate is only 47%. So there's a huge gap compared to the advanced economies having a 70 to 80% financial literacy rate." says Nidhi Bhasin, CEO of NASSCOM Foundation.

As part of #GoDigitalGoSecure, employees of Goodera's corporate clients were able to choose from Goodera's curated volunteering experiences. Additionally, they had the option of volunteering to make a difference at a convenient time for them. To celebrate the financial literacy month, Goodera partnered with 09 nonprofits to organize volunteering opportunities like:

- Making educational videos to empower women
- Preparing digital booklets to guide the elderly
- Creating audio guides on financial management for young girls of color
- Creating a digital toolkit to educate the youth on budgeting
- Developing presentations to explain financial concepts to underserved women
- Recording career stories to encourage and motivate at-risk youth

To raise the voices of the nonprofits and their cause, Goodera interacted with nonprofits such as Women Connection Inc -Texas, Covenant House - California, and Stand4sisterhood to highlight some steps that an individual can take to become financially literate. The discussions are featured on Goodera's YouTube page.

Emphasizing the importance of financial literacy, Lili Coulson, secretary of Ignite Mentoring Inc., said, "Financial literacy, in my opinion, is extremely essential because it has an impact practically on every part of our life. This is especially true for students. Understanding financial literacy, one's own money, and those of others can help one achieve financial independence. It's also crucial to know how to make such kinds of sound financial judgments to achieve long-term success. As a result, financial literacy, in my opinion, is becoming increasingly crucial as our financial landscape changes."

Encouraged by the success of the #GoDigitalGoSecure campaign, Goodera has released its event calendar for May to focus on mental health awareness and spread the contribution and culture of the AAPI Diaspora.
