The Rocky Mountain Prosperity Project (RMPP) is a 501(c)(3) charity created to empower disproportionately impacted communities, with an emphasis on immigrants living in the greater Denver Metro area. RMPP is an immigrant-led and serving organization, focused on removing systemic barriers to financial stability and growth. We accomplish this through our P.A.T.H (Prosperity, Access, Training, and Health) initiatives. Our P.A.T.H programming aims to ensure that every participant can access financial literacy, credit building, career development, and entrepreneurship skills. Our long-term vision includes creating a national model of economic empowerment for immigrants globally.
Our Prosperity initiative empowers immigrants to obtain financial independence and economic growth through several key activities. The Prosperity Foundations Program is designed to use culturally responsive strategies to educate community members with essential life skills needed for financial stability. These tools and resources are designed to help each community member transition from surviving to thriving. These classes are held quarterly for 2-hour sessions and are scheduled at times convenient for each community member. Community members are encouraged to complete all three courses in any order to gain a stronger understanding of financial wellness. Those who complete the entire series and complete a coaching session with an advisor earn the PATH to Prosperity Certification.
