Financial Literacy Challenges:
Decades of economic disparities prevent African American and Latinx communities from accumulating intergenerational wealth.
African American and Latinx families possess a fraction of the wealth of white families, leaving them more economically insecure and with far fewer opportunities for economic mobility.*
(Latinx and) Black households have more costly debt*
African Americans face systematic challenges in narrowing the wealth gap with whites*
Solution
Our financial literacy and educational program seeks to influence, shape the next generation of Savers and Investors through an offering of proof sourced videos, and guidance around healthy saving, investing and spending habits.
