Just like an avocado seed holds the potential for a mighty tree, The AVOCADO Foundation equips people with the tools and knowledge to achieve long-term financial security. This transformation allows us to offer a more comprehensive approach, nurturing financial independence and a brighter future.
This strategic name change reflects a natural progression. We recognise the need to equip individuals with the knowledge, tools, and advocacy they need to navigate the financial landscape and achieve long-term stability.
Our recent acquisition of The AVOCADO Foundation trademark in financial education strengthens this connection. Avocado, a fruit known for its potential to cultivate healthy growth, resonates with the communities we serve. It symbolises the potential for financial health and prosperity that The AVOCADO Foundation strives to cultivate.
“The AVOCADO Foundation represents our deep-rooted commitment to empowering underserved communities to not just survive, but thrive financially,” states AmickyCarol Akiwumi MBE, CEO & Founder of The AVOCADO Foundation. “This transformation allows us to provide a more comprehensive approach, fostering financial independence and a brighter future.”
Logistics of the Rebrand:
The rebrand was a collaborative effort, led by our dedicated Money4YOU staff and supported by the generous pro bono contributions of graphic designer Upasna Prasad (@by.upasna), valued at £25,000 and started in early April. We’re grateful for Upasna’s talent and partnership in creating a fresh visual identity that embodies our mission and core values.
Explanation for Name Change:
We’re changing our name to The AVOCADO Foundation because we do more than just provide money. We equip individuals with the tools and knowledge for long-term financial success. The AVOCADO name resonates with the communities we serve, symbolising growth and potential. The acquisition of the AVOCADO trademark strengthens the connection between the name and the services we offer.
