KPM Foundation promotes the development and entrepreneurship of the Dominican diaspora in New York
The KPM Foundation for Business Owners, Merchants, and Entrepreneurs (FUNECOEM), led by its president Kirsis Paniagua Martínez, carried out an important institutional visit to the Consulate General of the Dominican Republic in New York. This meeting is part of a comprehensive strategy to strengthen ties with Dominicans abroad and foster new opportunities for economic growth.
During the day, the foundation’s delegation was received by Consul General Jesús Antonio Vásquez Martínez and Vice Consul Vicmary Acosta. The main objective of the meeting was to explore avenues of collaboration that would allow for the transfer of training, financial education, and business formalization programs to the Dominican community residing in the United States.
Our diaspora represents talent, effort, entrepreneurship, and an extraordinary capacity for overcoming challenges. At the KPM Foundation, we understand that we must build bridges that allow us to bring training, guidance, and development opportunities to our Dominicans, regardless of where they are located.
