Welcome! History & Mission

GMI History

GMI was created on March 28, 2004. It started with a high school group dinner that resulted in a $15 dinner overpayment. We used the money to buy snacks, which no one really ate. So I decided to reinburse the group to create GMI.


GMI Mission

I created GMI to promote financial security among my friends. My premise is that there will be rainy days in the future; rainy days that money can help solve. A friend might have a daughter that gets into Harvard and can't pay for it. Someone might be injured and unable to work and is unwilling to take charity from one specific friend. Someone might need that extra bit of cash for the downpayment on their first house. For rainy days, GMI is a financial umbrella.
