Help defray the costs of providing financial education and get technical support
Nonprofit, church, or community groups might want to offer financial education courses for their members but may not know how to get started. In other situations, they may not have the funding to offer these programs. In yet other situations, there may be the desire to offer financial education but the organization may not have staff to teach the classes.
The Bank On Mini-Grants program can help organizations that want to offer financial education by offering funding, technical assistance, and, if needed, trained volunteer instructors to teach classes. The purpose of the program is to assist organizations in offering financial education classes to help promote the financial health and economic wellbeing of low-income families.
