$1M to support the narrowing of racial wealth gap in central Indiana
“Eliminating the racial wealth inequality in Indiana is the goal of a new educational program.
The $1 million program aims to empower Black and brown communities.
‘This is an amazing step to being able to create generational wealth with the communities that deserve it the most,’ said Sean Huddleston, the president of Martin University.
On Monday, OneAmerica announced a $1 million commitment to begin a financial literacy program in central Indiana that gives Black and brown communities new opportunities to build wealth. “We view this program as an opportunity to provide an important financial education resource,” said Scott Davison, the chairman, president and chief executive officer of OneAmerica financial services company.
It’ll be funded over five years without cost to the participants. ‘It’s building legacies, so that we are creating that generational wealth that ends poverty forever in these communities that have been stricken forever by poverty,’ Huddleston said.”
