Raimondo Honors Fidelity's Financial Coaching Corps Volunteers
General Treasurer Gina M. Raimondo showed her thanks to the Fidelity Investments employees who volunteered for the Capital Good Fund’s Financial Coaching Corps by awarding each member a citation commending them for their involvement.
General Treasurer Gina M. Raimondo has partnered with the Capital Good Fund to organize the Rhode Island Financial Coaching Corps (FCC). The FCC pairs volunteers with financial skills with Rhode Islanders looking to receive coaching in budgeting, credit and debt.
“The success of the Financial Coaching Corps program is a direct result of the dedication of the coaches,” said Raimondo “These volunteers have gone beyond what is expected of them to help their clients work towards financial empowerment.”

More than 30 Fidelity employee volunteers made a six month commitment to the Financial Coaching Corps. These volunteers teach members of the Year Up and Teach For America programs how to take charge of their own finances through free one-on-one financial planning sessions.
