Seven incredible years and an impact that will be felt at VestedIn for a long time to come.

Samantha has been at the heart of the WesGold Fellows program, helping grow it from just 15 Fellows to 50 young people each summer. She has spent countless hours mentoring, encouraging, challenging, and showing up for our Fellows, while building partnerships and opportunities that have taken the program to places we couldn’t have even imagined seven years ago.

But the numbers only tell part of the story. Samantha has been a mentor, an advocate, a familiar face our Fellows could count on, and someone who genuinely cared about what came next for each of them.

Samantha, thank you for seven years of dedication, laughter, and for pouring so much of yourself into this program and Philadelphia’s young people. We’re incredibly proud of everything you’ve helped build here and so grateful for the impact you’ve made along the way.

We’re wishing you nothing but the best as you head into your next adventure. Whatever comes next is lucky to have you. 💛💙

What a great night in Parkside! 💙

Tuesday’s National Night Out was a wonderful success, bringing neighbors, local organizations, and community partners together for an evening of connection, resources, and fun.

And in true VestedIn fashion, Fletcher and Jasmine couldn’t leave without learning a few new moves on the dance floor!

Thank you to everyone who came out and helped make the night so special!

Now is your last chance to apply!

The PA CDFI Network’s Microgrants Program is offering eligible Pennsylvania small businesses $7,500–$20,000 in grant funding, and applications close August 10th.

This is grant funding, not a loan, which means it does not need to be repaid. Funds can be used to support a variety of business needs, including equipment, inventory, marketing, technology, working capital, rent, and more.

VestedIn clients also receive priority consideration on their applications.

Don’t let this opportunity pass you by. If your business qualifies, now is the time to apply!
