Since age nine, 9th-grader Eric Newman has been an active member of the Newman Global Initiative (NGI). In May 2025, he will launch the “Nano Fund,” or “Modesto Project.” This initiative will provide small, no-obligation micro-funds to individuals, businesses, and education. The aim is a simple helping hand without required repayment; future contributions are welcome upon success. Having already contributed to NGI, Caritas School of Life, Inspira, Shanti Bhavan, and Meagan’s Hug, Eric’s dedication to positive impact is evident. The Modesto Project reflects his commitment to community growth.
