Atlanta, GA, April 02, 2010 –Jonathan D. Rosen, CEO and co-founder of Entaire Global Companies, Inc., announced the funding and official launch of a foundation to promote financial literacy, wealth education and financial independence among school-age children and adults. The Jonathan D. Rosen Family Foundation will be funded with an initial grant of a portion of Rosen’s Entaire Global holdings – with a value of over $5.3 million. Additional cash funding is being provided by Mr. Rosen and other members of the Foundation’s Board of Trustees. The Foundation will provide financial education and related services through direct teaching, mentoring, partnerships with Atlanta-area schools, and online programs and resources.
The Foundation’s mission is “To empower children and adults across both the social and economic spectrums with the knowledge and skills essential for successful financial decision making. The Foundation’s focus is to facilitate the delivery of education and resources that will provide an opportunity for personal financial flexibility to those who would otherwise be unable to achieve it.”
According to Mr. Rosen, “we are supporting the establishment of a mindset of financial responsibility and economic security for all members of the community. Too often, people aren’t taught how to accumulate assets. They are instead taught how to make it from paycheck to paycheck – which means that they are at best being taught how to get by. Teaching people to be truly financially secure is a different goal – one to which we are strongly dedicated.”
Jonathan D. Rosen is the CEO and Founder of Entaire Global Companies, a financial services holding company specializing in leveraged strategies for retirement planning and wealth creation. Mr. Rosen is also a member of the Gwinnett County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, one of Catalyst Magazine’s 25 Atlanta Entrepreneurs to Watch and the founder of The Wealth Builders Foundation for Economic Planning, Inc. a wealth management consultancy serving ultra high net worth individuals.
The remaining members of the Foundation’s Board of Trustees include: Michelle S. Spiro, Vice President, The Warnaco Group, Inc. in New York City and Dr. Andy M. Trotti, Director Radiation Oncology Clinical Research at H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida.
