Athens Wellbeing Project

Yesterday, had the honor of attending a special conversation with as they led the way in educating some of their Donor Advised Fundholders in the impact investing work they are doing in partnership with First American Bank and the Ark.

Rebanking predatory loans is essential for financial wellbeing. There are no interest caps that companies have to abide by in Georgia— 1 in 12 families have taken out a high interest loan in the last 90 days according to our latest survey data.

Sarah and her team spoke yesterday about how these data have become information to shape the impact investing the community is doing to give families who are caught in predatory debt cycles a second chance.

Pictures with our 4.0 champion as we presented findings yesterday to the partners who made this project possible. AWP is a collaborative effort that would not be possible without them! This data report is a public good, available to inform decision making and provide community insight. Thank you to all who shared the survey, took the survey, and supported the survey in any way! It is NOW AVAILABLE on our website at https://www.athenswellbeingproject.org/awp-40-report
