Join our Holiday Match for Safe Passage

For 25 years, First Commerce has partnered with Safe Passage to open doors of opportunity for youth and their families in Guatemala. Safe Passage provides holistic education starting at early childhood, comprehensive wellness, and career and professional support through young adulthood for youth living in one of the harshest and under-resourced areas in Guatemala City. We are thrilled to extend our giving to First Commerce American Capital employees and partner organizations whose donations will be matched dollar for dollar by The Berg Foundation to support Safe Passage’s New Chapter until December 31st. Each donation will fuel Safe Passage’s new Middle School (opening January 12th) and provide the teachers, materials, nutrition, and real-world learning that breaks cycles of poverty and makes lasting change possible.  

Let's do this together!
