Letter from the Founder

Dear Supporters, Partners, and Community,

As the founder of Pathway Plus Foundation, I am excited to share our inaugural vision and projected impact. While we are just beginning our journey, our commitment to financial empowerment for veterans, immigrants, and underserved communities remains unwavering.

Our foundation was born from a deep understanding that financial knowledge is the key to breaking cycles of economic hardship. Through comprehensive financial education, personalized counseling, and community outreach, we aim to create meaningful change, one individual at a time.

This report outlines our strategic plan, projected outcomes, and the transformative potential of our work.

Sincerely, David Kim Founder & Board Chair
