Towner is the founder of ENTowner Build a Legacy, Inc., a nonprofit organization devoted to youth empowerment through financial education and literacy. Her aim is to bring awareness to the plight of youth aging out of foster care and providing step-by-step solutions through training programs that help with increasing self-esteem through personal development, embracing traditional values from a millennial perspective, and increasing financial literacy to share with future generations. Mrs. Towner has worked in corporate America’s financial industry for over fifteen years, assisting customers with their banking needs. She earned her MBA, with a concentration in accounting and finance, in 2008, graduating with honors, just when the housing market came crumbling down, and understands the psychological and emotional aspects involved when people make financial decisions.
The ENTowner Build a Legacy, Inc. team collaborates with other nonprofits, schools, and religious and financial organizations who wish to provide personal finance education and outreach to advocate for strong financial literacy. Mrs. Towner's long-term vision is to provide scholarships to youth and their caretakers to reduce the need for personal loans for secondary education, thereby reducing personal debt. A transitional housing facility for youth aging out of foster care between the ages of eighteen years to twenty-four years that introduces the necessary tools to help break the cycle of poverty by transforming their personal relationship with money—a legacy that can be passed on for generations to come.view less
