On September 16, PIDC started the celebrations for the Hispanic Heritage Month partnering Greenline Access Capital and other entities, hosting Elevate and Connect, a resource night designed to celebrate, support, and empower Hispanic and Latino business owners across Philadelphia.
As you might know, PIDC is Philadelphia’s public–private economic development corporation, founded in 1958 as a partnership between the City of Philadelphia and the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce. In 2024, PIDC closed 297 transactions, financed 262 organizations, supported or created 2,700 jobs, and catalyzed over $1.4 billion in total investment.
Also, Victor Garrido was featured in the September newsletter in the Partner spotlight section. We have been collaborating on the PIDC’s Business Builder initiative providing educational training in workshops like the one titled “Preparing for Tax Season” through Business Builder En Espanol. This workshop walks individuals through the importance of tax season, why you should start preparing your documents early, where and how to file your taxes, and more.
Business owners walk away with practical insights, direct access to tax season guides and clear strategies they can implement immediately at no cost and Garrido has been able to see the great value that the workshops have added to the business owners in the community.
