Fintech Founder Bridges Gender Gap in STEM Through Mentor, Student Programs

Leave a comment


“LIFT provides mentorship, guidance, and networking opportunities to women, empowering them to break through pre-conceived barriers and thrive in a traditionally male-dominated field. By fostering a supportive community, our infectious efforts help level perceptions and foster pathways for success,” says Eaton. “For those yet to enter the workforce, our Paid for Grades program continues to make a remarkable difference in the lives of young individuals, equipping them with the tools and resources they need to excel academically.”

For students, self-esteem is often tied to their ability to develop skills in areas such as math, spelling, and social relationships. According to the American Psychological Association, both confidence and competence play a part in how students approach learning and how they recover in the face of failure or adversity. Low self-esteem can lead to self-doubt, which can deter students from pursuing academic challenges and may manifest further into feelings of guilt, frustration, and social disengagement. Building self-esteem can be accomplished through personal or academic successes, even small ones.3 Paid for Grades, a nonprofit established by Eaton and backed by local Tampa Bay businesses, is a self-improvement initiative that aims to provide students with these academic successes.

In collaboration with the Pinellas Education Foundation, Paid for Grades strives to equip students with the skills and self-assurance necessary for academic and personal success. Founded in 2013, Paid for Grades was inspired by Eaton’s own experience as a COO of a rapidly expanding tech company. Eaton hired local high school students for entry-level positions but recognized that many lacked the confidence and essential skills necessary to perform their jobs. With this realization, Eaton set out to provide educators, administrators, and at-risk students with the resources needed to help them succeed, build confidence, and excel academically.

Paid for Grades offers high school students the opportunity to earn $500 in cash for meeting designated program goals, participating in workshops, and completing an online life skills course. This cash reward serves as a concrete motivation for students to stay engaged, which leads to increased confidence, better grades, and improved practical life skills.

This year, the program experienced its highest-ever participation, with students, educators, and schools receiving nearly $206,000 in donations and awards. Over 200 freshmen from three Pinellas County high schools received $500 each. Mentors were rewarded $400 each, and schools earned $100 per student for programs and supplies. Paid for Grades has seen hundreds of local students increase their GPA, make marked improvements in reading comprehension, and gain invaluable skills that foster a more confident, purpose-driven outlook beyond the classroom.

Initially funded entirely by Eaton’s company,Chargebacks911®, the program now enjoys generous support from Florida’s business leaders and philanthropists, 100% of which directly supports students and schools. To date, Paid for Grades has donated more than $1.2 million to participating students, mentors, and schools.

Eaton says, “Through LIFT and Paid for Grades, we are committed to nurturing the next generation of fintech leaders, fostering diversity, and driving positive change in the industry. By investing in the education, mentorship, and empowerment of youth and women, we are building a more inclusive and innovative future for fintech. Together, we can break down barriers and create limitless possibilities for all.”

Women in fintech who would like to participate in the LIFT program as either a mentor or mentee can find more information at https://monicaec.com/lift-elevating-women-through-mentorship.

CHC Commits to Address Black Birthing Inequities at Clinton Global Initiative 2023 Meeting

Leave a comment


CHC’s Black Birthing Initiative, funded by Elevance Health Foundation, aims to improve preterm birth outcomes among Black women and birthing people by reducing the effects of stress and unmet social needs. The initiative launched in January 2022 in Cleveland, Atlanta, and Detroit and will provide scale with proven community-driven interventions and a standardized screening tool for adoption by health systems nationwide.

Following a year of listening sessions and key informant interviews with area partners, CHC identified the structural barriers and support needed to expand Indianapolis’ community readiness to improve Black birthing outcomes. CHC’s project will include a feasibility study, case for investment, multi-stakeholder convenings, technical support, and an awareness building and educational campaign. The goal is to bring partners and investors together to help establish a Black-led birthing center and enhanced doula workforce.

“The most influential way to affect changes in health outcomes for Black mothers is centralizing their voices and their needs when providing their care,” said Valerie Rochester, Chief Health Equity Officer at CHC. “To reduce preterm births, we must continue to address the structural and societal barriers and increase responsiveness to the needs of Black women and birthing people, offer tailored interventions, and tap into communities of birthing advocates with similar lived experiences. Our community partners are a critical part of this work, as they are trusted and doing the work every day.”

Black women in the U.S. are three times more likely to die from childbirth complications and twice as likely to experience preterm birth as other races and ethnicities. The unique combination of weathering, chronic stress, and life events, as well as racial bias in healthcare, are primary contributors to disparities in Black birthing outcomes.

Although studies have shown social interventions during pregnancy can improve birth outcomes, U.S. health spending invests less than three percent in the social drivers of health and these types of social interventions.

CHC is committed to implementing inclusive strategies that are equity-centered, community-informed, and community-led. CHC’s approaches are based on evidence and centered on equity to address the social drivers of health, incorporating community perspectives and the lived experiences, needs, and concerns of affected communities.
