CURO Group Holdings Corp. (NYSE: CURO) (“CURO” or the
“Company”), a market leader in providing credit to non-prime
consumers, today announced that it has made two $10,000 donations
to Black mental health organizations in the U.S. and Canada in
recognition of Black History Month.
The donations, driven by CURO’s Diversity and Inclusion Council,
are part of the Council’s goal of empowering individuals from all
backgrounds. Council Members reviewed a number of organizations to
honor Black History Month as well as take into consideration the
pandemic and other recent social events to create a meaningful
impact for the Black community.
In the U.S., the Company has donated $10,000 to the Black Mental
Health Alliance, a non-profit that develops, promotes and sponsors
trusted and culturally-relevant educational forums, trainings and
referral services that support the health and well-being of Black
people and vulnerable communities.
In Canada, CURO has donated $10,000 to Black Mental Health
Canada, a non-profit that facilitates access to affordable,
culturally safe and affirming mental health services to the Black
community through education, advocacy, and provision of
resources.
“These organizations’ visions align with our vision—the creation
of an equitable, respectful, and compassionate society—and we must
all do our part,” said Jillian Slagter, Chief Human Resources
Officer. “We hope that the contribution of $10,000 to each
organization helps to advance their current activities,
particularly as mental health needs have increased during this very
difficult time.”
