Our impact
“Financial literacy means more than just a hot meal, and a roof over your head, it marks the beginning of a bright future for generations to come”- Volunteer, Qualitas of Life
Since 2007 Qualitas of Life has provided financial education to more than 13,478 families, impacting around 60,651 people.
Over the past ten years, Qualitas of Life has evolved from a small volunteer-run organization to a well-respected and sought-out nonprofit community partner. In order to reach the broad and diverse Hispanic community, we have expanded into New York, including all five boroughs, New Jersey, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. We also partner with organizations in Massachusetts and Vermont to help support and educate the Hispanic communities throughout. We have provided more than 160 hours of training to 40 facilitators and created over 50 strategic alliances to better reach the Hispanic community.
