Prosperity Works Receives Community Grant from Wells Fargo

Prosperity Works is excited to announce a $125,000 investment from Wells Fargo to help New Mexicans grow assets through matched savings accounts. These accounts can be used to purchase or repair a home, to grow a business, to attend college or to buy a car to get to work. We are grateful to our partners at Wells Fargo for their ongoing commitment to Prosperity Works. The funds received will be used to serve limited-income individuals in New Mexico with a focus on indigenous communities and rural areas of the state. 

"We are excited and so grateful for the generous support from Wells Fargo to expand assets for New Mexicans through our individual development account program," said Dr. Ann Lyn Hall, CEO of Prosperity Works.

Tim Rios, Senior Vice President, Rural Strategy Leader at Wells Fargo is a strong advocate for asset-building strategies that lift up rural communities. Without the help of Lauren Hornett, VP of Senior Social Impact Specialist, and Katie Rollyson, VP of Social Impact and Sustainability Specialist, Prosperity Works wouldn’t be able to reach into these communities and help individuals in need. 

“We are proud to support Prosperity Works’ efforts to ensure New Mexicans have access to opportunities, knowledge, and assistance they need to achieve economic prosperity,” said Lauren Hornett, Wells Fargo Vice President and Senior Social Impact Specialist.
